Summary: A surprisingly deep and beautiful book for all ages
Review: It's very seldom that a book both takes hold of your heart *and* guides you through metaphors to notice something about reality that had previously escaped you. 'Momo' is such a book. Set in a fantasy world that parallels what we would consider ideal, 'Momo' is the story of a special girl observeing and trying to cope with/battle against the slow and unnoticed appearance of an army of grey men -- intent on stealing the free time from all the people in her world. The effects of this time theft is clever and in a way haunting; the world begins to become modernized, looking more and more like our own. To give away any more then that would be to give away the plot; trust me, it's a wonderfull, wonderfull read for adults and kids alike. I rank it up there with C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicals of Narnia".

Summary: Momo is a masterpiece!
Review: Momo is a book hard to describe. The talent of its writer is unbelievable. Telling a short version of it can never tell you what it is about. Look at it as a simpler, deeper, funnier, more meaningful, and less yucky version of George Orwel's 1984, with a twist to make it very very child friendly, but at the same time perfect for an adult. If you have to read 5 books in your life, this should be one of them.

Summary: excellent
Review: Momo is a book of extraordinary depth; Michael Ende has a lot to say about us human beings and the way we spend our time, and everyone should read it. For those of you complaining it isn't available in English: it certainly is! apparently not in the USA though. Try a british website.

Summary: Momo is brilliant.
Review: Momo is a children's story that not enough adults have read. Like all of Ende's books, it employs a bizarre passage of time to hold a mirror to the human soul - and changes how you see that soul.

Summary: Old Wisdom adapted for our Time
Review: MOMO is a fairy tale with deep wisdom for our time. The open-minded reader will find a very clear and subtle explanation of the sociological processes that have changed the modern nations in the last decades ' written in such simple words that even children understand it. It tells, how people are blinded by businessmen, who consult them to make more savings. But the savings go off in smoke. That is exactly what happened at the stock exchanges of the world. MOMO prevents you from being blinded and shows you a stable way of life through all times. The story is based on old wisdom from the East, which is adored in Asia since 25 centuries and adapted to the West by the Buddhist author Michael Ende. The book is still available at www.amazon.co.uk

Summary: Time to Read
Review: Momo is an interesting commentary on society, with the aid of some grey gentleman, a tortoise who can communicate in an interesting fashion, a wise elderly man, a roadsweeper, a young storyteller and a little girl who appears from nowhere. I loved all of the characters, especially Momo - You'll want to sweep her up and adopt her! The little comments on daily life and work will make you stop and think. Anyone who is fascinated with the concept of time and/or loves The Neverending Story - READ. THIS. BOOK.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: Momo is one of the few books that I immensely enjoy as a kid. The fantastic storyline will keep you glued to the book as it takes you on a ride with Momo and her friends. Michael Ende's imagination is so vivid that it makes this whole fairy tale seem almost possible. Great book and it's certainly well worth your money and time buying and reading it!

Summary: Inspiring Book!
Review: Momo is one of these books that inspire you deeply, those that you will hardly forget. I especially like the imagination Ende had for this book. I have been trying to find the English edition for it, because I have lost my German one for it. Michael Ende did an excellent job for this book. The book is a great example of fantasy.
