A review by _l__n_r
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

3.0

Original rating: 4/5 stars.
2025 re-read rating: 3/5 stars.

I remember LOVING this book when I was like 18. Unfortunately I do not love it as much 20 years later. It's still very cute n nostalgic, but I just didn't find it as ~mEaNiNgFuL~ at this point in my life. I thought a lot about all the scene girls I knew with Little Prince tatties (either quotes or drawings) and wondered how they're holding up. Have they re-read it? Did they get the tattie covered or do they still love it? Do they have kids now and have they read the book to their children to explain why there is a poorly drawn yellow haired boy on mama? Did the ones with the quote about him using wild birds to escape ever wonder about why there were birds in space?

I read my paper copy which has a handwritten dedication in the front cover from someone called "S.S." with a misspelling of the word "favorite" ("favorate"), so that was fun.

Anyway it's a re-read summer, so unfollow now if you don't wanna hear about it.
