5.0 out of 5 stars interesting story in easy french, February 23, 2007

By	Playboater - See all my reviews

This book tells an interesting story that about the destiny of a young boy who, abandoned by his parents, tries to find his way through life. Throughout the book, philosophy plays an important role ("le secret du sourire" - the secret of smiling) and the meaning of happiness is discussed.
The French language is not very hard; therefore this book is also appropriate for everybody who speaks/understands bacis french.

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice read, February 27, 2006

By	James Biltmore Radcliffe (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

It is also a good movie.

I didn't really seem to "get" it, though. Maybe I'm just not French enough, or philosophically attuned to the nuances of that culture's literature. Oh, well.

I recommend Monsieur Ibrahim et les Fleurs du Coran, but I honestly think it took the author less than a month to write it, if not less than that.

1.0 out of 5 stars ..., January 30, 2009

By	ellie - See all my reviews

I ordered this book for a class that started on January 5. Understandably, I did not expect the book to come immediately but it took a whole month for it to be delivered! In that time, I had to purchase another copy from the bookstore. I won't be using this seller again.
