The Little Prince

This book was an enjoyable, sweet read. I laughed out loud a few times at the unexpectedly wry humor. The ending made me cry, but it was bittersweet more than incredibly sad. The narrator had a deep, rich voice; it was like listening to a grandfather telling a bedtime story. He tells the story nice and slow, and I could hear the emotions in it.

My mother and I both enjoyed this story on a long trip back from the doctor during rush hour traffic. I would recommend it to almost anyone looking for a funny, gentle story. However, I do feel compelled to mention that when I was a child, this story would have been much too slow for me. I wouldn't have had the patience for it. It's a family-friendly story, but I wouldn't actually make small children sit through it.

A beautiful little story for children and those who remember what it was like to be children. It made me laugh and smile and broke my heart.

Humphrey Bower's narration is perfection - the icing on an already delicious cake. His voice will make you want to look up at the stars, think of long-gone friends, and somehow - manage to hear their laughter.

Yes, I like the reader's voice and expression. The story is absolutely inspirational and moving.

The meaning.

The Little Prince's conversations about the meaning of life.

When the Little Prince gets very upset because the love he gave his rose made it so very special and unique.

Everyone would benifit from reading this book often!

Yes. Because the story is good and very well told. It may be a tale for children, but it's not childish.

The farewell of the fox: I have read it in a book and seen it in a film, but this audible version is simply remarkable, Must be listened to!

Besides being very discernible, he can transmit a feeling and a pathos as very few actors/speakers. If you've just read the book, you would never suspect the intensity of feeling enclosed in the tale. Even the film I saw wasn't so good.

I cried, but because the tale evocates noble feelings. I wouldn't say that the tale is a sad one, but a beautiful one so beautiful since we are not used to such tales because we see them so seldom.

There's nothing like a good tale told with heart.

a great listen and amazing story

I liked the book, but I didn't find it terribly memorable. It wasn't the classic that I was expecting, but I liked it.

Yes. The story was worth it.

Meeting the fox.

It's too short for a movie.

I liked it but I didn't think it was earth shattering.

A lovely story. I listened to this directly after The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, which probably wasn't the best precursor... This book provides a rare chance to reflect on what really makes things special.

The book does an excellent job of putting forward some very deep ideas and concepts, in a way clearly written for the younger listener. However even as an adult this book was enjoyable... I just had to reflect on it before I realised that I liked it.

Very well narrated by Humphrey Bower, full marks there.

I got this book, without really knowing much about the story or the author, after listening to Humphrey Bower's great read of The Power of One. This is a fantastic story that is brought to life by a wonderful narrator. I highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful story, at any age, and with Humphrey Bower narrating, it was sheer pleasure to listen to...

A story I totally missed in my 70-year life, but a sweet little tale with a quirky mix of childish fantasy and adult concerns.
