Book Reviews of Le Petit Prince (French Language Edition)
Book Review: Learned to read French using this book
Summary: 4 Stars
More than a simple children's tale, it was my first exposure to a deeper level of the French language. Simplistic on its face, the chapters could be peeled back to reveal existential philosophy. It made for interesting discussions with my fellow book club members who were learning French along with me.Book Review: Open ended
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a strange little book that defies classification. My husband and I both read it and went away with very different interpretations. The book is part whimsy, part satire, and part philosphy. Its deceptive simplicity defies classification on greater examination.Book Review: Too juvenile
Summary: 3 Stars
I read this book in college. It was a good learning tool, but I think something pitched to adults would have been better. But it is an excellent book to use in teaching children French.Book Review: Antichildren's Book
Summary: 2 Stars
I love the fantasy and the art work that is in this book. What bothers me is that this "children's" book uses suicide as an answer to the main character's problem. I can't help but wonder what negative connotations this sends a child before they reach the turbulent teen years.Book Review: A book about a nutcase who hallucinates about another nut
Summary: 1 Stars
...This Book is about a nutcase who draws snakes with elephants inside and becomes a pilot because the " grandes personnes " wanted him to stop drawing nonsense and become something useful. Anyhow, he crashes and hallucinates about this stupid little kid who calls himself "le Petit Prince" who lives all alone on a planet the size of a table. One day, a talking flower comes along and makes him depressed so he somehow magically goes to see other planets and ends up on earth where he meets a talking fox and Antoine de Saint-Exupere. He then regrets leaving his planet and tells a talking snake to kill him so he can " return to his planet". So now, after reading my review you see what a waste of valuable time this book is.
