It's possible I'm just too nostalgic about the movie to judge the book fairly, especially reading it for the first time when I'm almost 40. But I really don't think the book works as a cohesive whole. There are basically two completely different stories with no real connection between them -- the ad...

I first read this book when I was 10 or 11. Over twenty years later, it's still one of my favorites. This story has so much depth that each time it's read, it may as well be a different story altogether. Like Mr. Correander points out to Bastian, "The Neverending Story is different for each person",...

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS????? Seriously? It's fantastic and fun and awesome. I did listen to it as an audiobook narrated by Gerard Doyle who did a great job. I had seen the movies when I was younger and and heard about the book but hadn't read it until now. One thing I thought would...

The Neverending Story by Michael is an exciting fantasy adventure story about a young boy who comes across a magical book. As he starts to read the book he begins to suspect that there is something very strange about it and the more he reads the more he quite literally gets sucked into the story. Th...

Es mi primer libro de Michael Ende y se lo recomiendo a todas las edades. Lejos de ser un cuento de fantasía o ficción en la realidad tristemente muchos nos hemos convertido en ahorradores de tiempo. Basta decir que el mensaje que deja es muy bonito y nos lleva a reflexionar.Se lee rápido y es un cu...

“Are you and I and all Fantastica,” she asked, “are we all recorded in this book?”He wrote, and at the same time she heard his answer: “No, you’ve got it wrong. This book is all Fantastica - and you and I.”“But where is this book?”And he wrote the answer: “In the book.”Ah, metafiction for children. ...

I REALLY like the first half of the book, the second half I have trouble maintaining interest for a good period of it. This may be in part because Sebastian becomes Jesus (there are very close parallels in his adventures to many of those in the New Testament) and he is most interesting as a charact...

Like many people of my generation, I loved the film adaptation (the first, not the second, thank you) and never realized that it had come from a book until a number of years later. In fact, I read it the first time in '07 and not only was I delighted at how imaginative it was, I was flabbergasted (j...
