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

emotional inspiring lighthearted reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

i think i’m going to leave this unrated until i reread it in the future. i came in thinking it was going to be something completely different, and my autistic brain kept trying to cram my expectations into this book. i was taking all the allegories at face value and it wasn’t until 75% of the way through that i went “oh” and started comprehending what it was actually trying to say

i liked some of the quotes, especially the one about needing caterpillars to see butterflies. i know that if i ever make it to the sahara one day, i will certainly look up at the stars and hear the 500 million little bells tinkling with laughter. and i think that’s the best thing one can take away from it
