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...

“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...

I'd heard of this book (and the movie made from it) for years, and was curious - a classic always intrigues me. So I finally read it. The description of the world of Fantastica is brilliantly done - so imaginative. I'd love to know if there is a book with better illustrations at the beginning of ea...

Ask any American child of the 80's who Atreyu is and they'll most likely be able to recall the hero in the movie adaptation of this highly imaginative fantasy novel that originated in Germany, caught fire and became a best-seller in 27 countries. The movie delighted children and adults alike across ...

I think the last time I read this (when I was about 10), I stopped when I got to the end of the movie's plot, which is about halfway through. That makes sense, because all the thematic stuff is in part two, and it's fascinating and fairly complex, and I think I would have found it boring and confusi...
There is a great need for a sarcasm font. Yes, indeed!
One of the best books I've ever read in my life and one of the very few I've read twice ( and even think of reading once more ) just for the pleasure of reading a perfect book.

The Neverending Story was one of my favourite movies growing up, but embarrassingly, I didn't actually realise it was a book until recently. I ordered it from Book Depository as soon as I found out, and finally got around to reading it on my honeymoon.This has been a hard review for me to write beca...
