Relectura que ya me hacía falta.

Me encanta la manera tan directa en que se presentan las ideas en los relatos de cada una de las aventuras del principito.

"If you Come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then by three o'clock I shall begin to be happy"

I honestly shed a tear because of this line.

A beautiful book. Regret reading it this late in my life.

I want to begin this review by saying that I’m sorry to all of you who love this book but I just have to say that this was one of the worst books I’ve read. It wasn’t enjoyable in any way and just felt like a huge mess. I guess that I can’t really sit here as an adult and judge a children’s book but now I am. I also assume that if you have read this as a child it will be more enjoyable and nostalgic for you but for me this is the first time reading this book. I guess that can have something to do with me thinking it’s so bad because I don’t have any memories from this book. The reason I decided to randomly read this book as an adult was because it have such high ratings on this app so why not give it a go? But that was honestly a waste of time and the only reason that I actually finished this book was because it was only 80 pages.

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

Every time I reread this, I'm struck with nostalgia. This story is more than that of a lost little boy. It's everything to me.

Great observations, but personally I think it's overrated. It practically begs the reader to come to the conclusion that if you don't "get it" it's your own fault because you're a "grown up, and only kids can see what matters." It's heavy handed, clumsily executed observations on what's important in life.

I'm going to go with a literal interpretation of the plot, because it's more fun that way:

A man crashes his plane in the desert, hallucinates a small alien boy that teaches him philosophical lessons, invents a history for him, finds a well just in time to stave off dehydration, as he re-hydrates, his hallucinated alien friend kills himself and disappears, he fixes his plane and flies home and is sad about it, but feels blessed for the experience as it has changed him.

Ready for the moral? It's really simple:
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important." Or in other words, spend your time developing relationships, don't worry so much about the things, they're not important, it's the time you spend and how you spend it that is.

That's a nice philosophy, I get it. I even agree with it one hundred percent. I just think these metaphors are painfully clumsy. This book Is overrated and comes across as trying too much to mean something. Like its this great philosophical book for children to help them and can always come back too. It was low key also boring ngl. Overall it was meh
