The Little Prince was not what I expected at all. I slightly blame Netflix for that as it's trailer mainly focused on the young girl and the old man - this warping my view of the story and pleasantly surprising me when I started to read it. The book definitely defied my expectations and the young girl and old man's story seems like a lovely addition to the film adaptation - it's on my list to watch.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, children books, when I was a kid, didn't make you think. It was mainly a source of empty entertainment before I went to bed and apart from the old moral, I never quite read a book like this one. This book seems to defy everything I read before and make me, a twenty-one-year-old, reconsider what I thought of childhood and adulthood, in a very unique style. It's a read I will come back to.
