Is this really as good as everyone says it is, or is it overhyped/overrated?
I never got around to reading it, which my gf was quite surprised by, saying that it is an 'essential' piece of literature
what's the deal here
Is this really as good as everyone says it is, or is it overhyped/overrated?

It's basically absurdism for kids
Not saying that pejoratively, I think it's probably the best book written specifically for children; you might find it simplistic now but it's just so culturally impactful that it'll be worth reading nonetheless
Jace Peterson
Only women and numales read shit like this.
Real men read Schopenhauer's 'On Women' and analytical philosophy and facts, not fiction based on muh feels
Jaxson Davis
Wanna know how I can tell you've never read it?
David Scott
Is as deep as a children's book can get.
Colton Cook
You can read it by yourself. I don't remember the number of pages but I'm pretty sure it won't take you more than 20 mins. It's simple and has some curious messages, the one with the rose being the more recognised.
Michael Thomas
some good parts and some really good parts
also some not so good parts
when he travels to the planets and meets with the adults is a definite plus, particularly the geographer
if you feel at all impacted by not having read it, you can read it in 30 mins so its sort of pointless to discuss it with someone who hasn't read it...
Christopher Parker
One of the best things a children can read. I read it again last month after many years and I loved it.
Unless you're a complete idiot, it's a short enjoyable book.
Nothing new unless you're retarded, but still beautiful.
Parker Butler
What is a good age to read this? I want to buy it for my wife's son .
Kayden Rogers
the conversation about the rose with the geographer (essentially when they discuss recording "eternal" vs "ephemeral" things) is worth the length alone
if its not weird, you could probably read it to him as young as like 4 or 5?
he could read it on his own a couple years after that probably
Evan Allen
its basically Invisible Cities the kid version
so i guess if you like calvino, read it to your kid
Brandon Long
What's your favorite English translation? I like the Alan Wakeman version.
Ryan Thomas
Why am I just now starting to see this everywhere, though? I've never even heard of it until the past few months.

Le Petit Prince is just basic bitch existentialism. Can be out in the same category as The Giving Tree (which I think teaches children a terrible, damaging message). Gives normies the pretense of seeing beyond appearance while remaining a shadow on the wall.
Give it a read of you want to vitiate your hatred of plebs and their shallow understanding.
Austin Gonzalez
An animated adaptation just came out on Netflix recently, so some nostalgia probably has something to do with it.
Wyatt Rodriguez
It tells you the truth about women. :(
Jason Mitchell
My roommate brought me to read the book. It's really nice to practices a new language, because it's kinda deep and yet still easy to understand and it available in almost all languages. Just ordered it in portugues.
Gabriel Perez
Overrated as fuuuuck

>The Giving Tree teaches children a bad message
Extrapolate, please.
Dylan Garcia
I heard its great for learning to read French

>I've never even heard of it until the past few months.
It's literally and unironically one of the most famous books in the world.
Jaxson Thompson
no m8 nooooo read it over and over until u understand the symbols
Jose Taylor
I'm teaching myself French, and I use it as a tool.
Luke Lee
You sound like such a mongoloid
