Just picked up this absolutely beautiful edition of this book today. Oh my god it's pretty. The text is red or green based on which world the story is going on in. SO AWESOME.

I may be strange for saying this, but I'm actually one of those people who liked the Neverending Story movie. (The first one, that is.) When I was little I seriously had a crush on Atreyu and wanted to be the Childlike Empress. I didn't discover the book until much later on. It's been a while si...

I remember reading Momo, also by Michael Ende, when I was a kid and enjoying it. I'd never read the Neverending Story (though, of course, I'd seen the movie – which was so inaccurate that it inspired Ende to sue Hollywood, apparently).The Neverending Story is a kind of "Pilgrims Progress" of childre...

Loved the movie, not so much the book. Overwrought with details and I just didn't feel a part of the story like I did with the movie.

This particular reading abandoned two chapters in. The Possum said she liked the idea, but not text. Then I teased her for not liking the special effects of the movie.2010 May 24-25***We're giving it another go.Again, abandoned, although we made it much farther: we actually set off on the quest.20...
