Many readers say at one time or another that when they have read a book that it changed the way they view their lives. For myself, this is that book. An overall lovely and whimsical tale which tells the story of the Little Prince; a child who lives on an asteroid and who travels to various other planets in search of himself and to reflect upon his love for his rose. Mainly told from the perspective of the Aviator, an adult who throughout his life has been forced to participant modern society as we know it and yet is emotionally separate from it, we are allowed this unique experience of reevaluating the values and practices of our world and how important these ideas really are. Even though this book is marketed as children's literature I cannot recommend it enough to any and everyone who is interested whatsoever.
