There's nothing I can say about The Little Prince that hasn't already been said. It's a very well-known and beloved story for a good reason. Please don't discount the book because it's labeled as a children's book, it has entertainment value for adults as well. Some people debate whether or not it should be considered a children's book in the first place. I won't talk about the events of the story because I think it's best to come in blind.

DNF about a third of the way through. I've never read this book before, and I had high hopes when I picked it up because it's such a widely beloved classic, but unfortunately, I didn't like it at all. I found the story boring and the philosophizing unbearable - there's nothing deep or interesting about declaring that adults don't recognize imagination and beauty and are obsessed only with numbers.

A truly wholesome story supplemented with cute illustrations. Kept me reading with a smile throughout. Also, includes many furigana.

Listened to the audiobook...

which was narrated beautifully. However, I think this might be a book better appreciated when read rather than listened to, if possible. I had absolutely 0 connection to anything in this book but since everyone and their mother seems to love it, I must have missed something. So maybe listening is not the best way to approach this.

The story was digestible for beginners since it's a lot of disconnected anecdotes as the prince travels around. I will say it was kind of annoying that so much kanji is omitted, as it actually makes it harder to read/distinguish vocabulary, so I'm looking forward to reading something a little higher level after this. But that being said, there's a nice mix of grammar in here and it's a cute story. And definitely doable for a first time long-form read.
