djmelvill 's review for:

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

---

For the first half of this book, I was frustrated and prepared to dismiss it. I was struggling to get the strange mixture of parable and story, and thought both could be done better. But then came the mysterious and haunting ending, with all of its profound wisdom on what it means to love someone, and now i’m prepared to admit that this book really is a classic.
