Reviews

[Nada Elshabrawy · Rating 5 out of 5]

ولد وبنت متأثرين بالأمير الصغير بيعيشوا تمامًا في عالمه. جميل جدًا لليافعين والقراء الصغار.

[Sally · Rating 2 out of 5]

رغم أن الرواية موجهة " للفتيان " غير أني لم ألمس الرمزية التي تصل إلى عقول الفتية

بالإضافة إلى تشتت الفكرة ، الفكرة الرئيسية : براءة الإنسان في الحلم و المطالبة بأبسط الحقوق

وقد ضاع الكاتب في بعض الثنيات

الرمزية فيها ملفتة ، الخيال ملفت ، الدراما التي تحتويها ملفتة و لكن قضية تشتت الفكرة تلعب دور كبير
