“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”
FORMAT READ: Paperback
SIMILAR VIBES: A Monster Calls, Bridge to Terabithia
This book turned out to be so much deeper than I expected before I read it. I thought it would be the type of children's novel that was simply 2 sentences per page, but it wasn't.
The message of the story was so well presented that I wondered how come I have not read this before when it seems like everyone around me already has.
And I don't think the most important thing in the book is if the little prince is real because I guess that will always depend on the reader but I think the most important thing is how we choose to represent the people, the objects and the planets into real life. I think I was just bursting the whole time on how good the story is and the book isn't even that long. The quotes, the metaphors made me want to cry out how perfect they were and I don't think I even have the right worshippers to describe reading my feelings the time I read this book.
“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”
The clearest message of the story to me, personally, was how it is us who decides and creates the importance of the things in our lives. Like how a random person can end up being your best friend, your most trusted companion. . . but to other people that same person may just be another normal person they pass by every day. It is how much time, care you invest into, not just objects, but people as well.
And I think this is why you should never listen to other people when they say that one think isn't important or one thing doesn't matter. They aren't you and only you can decide what is important to you.
This story is definitely one of those stories that you have to actually read first before you can even begin to understand what I am talking about. So if you have to read this wonderful, wise, entertaining, truthful, gift of a book. . . go on and JUST. READ. IT.
“It is such a mysterious place, the land of tears.”
// disclaimer: this review is probably messed up and has a lot of correction but I just really had the urge to review this book.
