Little Prince : Fun or overrated?

article image placeholderUploaded by @dzakyem
So possibly I'll stop here and answer my own post and say something about what I like and don't like or imagine some people don't like. But if you're coming across this post, you could first give me what you liked and didn't like in the book and then listen to my opinion or to what Bowie had to say and answer her opinion as well. Who knows, perhaps Bowie will come back here and discuss that still. Or perhaps she won't

Reading the book as a child: fantastic!

They have nobody else to be in touch with. So finally, some people listen to me as a child. If we identify with a little Prince, we think, yes, that's fun. To be from another world and to be listened to. People who are interested in me want to ask me questions, questions and we answer my questions. Things like that. They take me seriously. What could be better for a child than imagining that

Reading it as an adult 1) as a modern woman 2) as an adult of either sex 3) relationships: asymetry = unhappines 4) STYLE: fairy tale.Fit for childre

So this impossibility of equality in a relationship or the danger as well, of manipulation by the one on the other is actually interesting to read about. But here I've only spoken about psychology, as it were, but we could speak about the way the book is written. It's written in the way of a fairy tale, with quite simple words and quite a lot of repetitions

Description of strange grown-up characters. Animals more simple. Evilness of the snake? Natural evil to take at face value, unjugingly?

Finally, one of the attractivities of the pleasant sides of the story is the portrait of the different range adults there are and the way some passions exist in them and the way they are blind to their passions. On the other hand, animals seem to be very to know much better what they want and what they don't want. The interesting aspect about animals is the snake. I'd like to finish on that note, because the snake seems to wish to kill without thinking
