Summary: A Real Gem
Review: The Neverending Story is truly an outstanding book. First published I believe in German, it has been translated into English quite adeptly, although there are a few cases of awkward wording resulting from this. Other than that, this is a nearly perfect book. Bear in mind one thing while you're reading though -- while it is great, it is also a children's book, so don't go looking for really challenging vocabulary and adult themes. I picked up this book in Zany Brainy maybe seven years ago, and I have read it quite a few times since then. I find something new in it every time, and it never gets old. It stays just as beautiful and perfect each time. If you've seen the first two movies, they are both based on this books, the second only nominally, but even the first hardly does the book justice. This, despite being a children's book, has themes that apply all throughout life, and its simplicity is wonderfully refreshing after so many other books which try to impress you with their incredibly flashy wording and daunting size. The pictures at the beginning of each chapter are skillfully sketched, and this is just overall an amazing work of art. No matter what your age, buy this book. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for your kids and read it to them. You won't be dissapointed. Another fascinating book is Ende's Momo, which unfortunately only seems available in spanish at the moment, but keep your eyes out for it.

Summary: A trip to your childhood
Review: This is definetley the best book I have ever read in my life. The magic of mystery and wonder that you lose as you grow older are immediatley brought back into play the minute you flip to the first page. A story to share with your children or keep to yourself - either way you will never forget the feeling this wonderful tale leaves you with.

Summary: Better than the movie(s) by FAR!
Review: When I was younger I was enchanted by this glorious tale of strange creatures and stories that never end...Then I decided to invest in the paperback...Let me just tell you, the book is SO much greater and much more polished then any of the movies, and it explains more about Bastian and his friends than the tip-of-the-iceburg movies do, either. I am now the proud owner of a first-edition mint copy (english)! I recommend it to EVERYONE with vision and imagination! Enjoy it! Savor it! *^_^*

Summary: The Neverending Story
Review: This is a true work of art! i love it! Every moment of reading it was a absolute treasure. This book has all the qualifications to be the best book in my case, it has everything(fantasy, adventure, poetry, mystery, etc.,). The movie is a failure compared to what Michael Ende wrote. it is a true masterpiece!

Summary: A very good book. It was almost like the movie
Review: When I first read this book, I was surprised that it was not like the movie. I have seen the movie many times, I almost know it by heart, and when I read the book, I liked it a little better than the movie.Some parts of the book were confusing, but when I firgured them out, they were not that confusing anymore. When I finished the book, I began to read other fasinating books like Animal Farm, Peter Pan, and I am right now reading The Princess and the Goblin. I hope that one day, you will read these books too.

Summary: A wonderful book!
Review: I missed this book as a child, but came across it in a bookstore and had to buy it. I am certainly glad I did. For those of you who only know Bastian from the movie, you are sadly robbing yourself of a fantastic adventure. You too, will get "pullled" into the story. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go find Childlike Empress a new name, Go save Fantastica! Oh, but do say hello to Falkor for me.

Summary: Not the best book written, but it is still THE book
Review: Never have I been so enchanted in my life. This story is simply amazing. Everything is significant, the different monsters, the Nothing, the AURYN, and most all of the characters are not allegorical, but archetypal. The world needs this book; it espouses it's own theme perfectly. I could not recommend this book more. This simply must be read by everyone. Period. Go and bring back the Water of Life.

Summary: Killer story
Review: I first read this book while stranded in the desert with my parents as a child. I absolutely couldn't put it down. This is one of the best books I have ever read. The most remarkable thing I found: everytime I read it I see all new things. It's as if the book grows up with you. This is money well spent. The old hardcover I have even has the Auryn right on the cover.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Review: This is such a wonderful book. It tells the story of two young men from different worlds, both on the adventure of their lives. It is an amazing story, with many twists and turns. I recommend this story for both the child and the child at heart.

Summary: This is a book you HAVE to read
Review: If you like fantasy, this is an absolute must read! I loved this book the first time I read it, and each time I read it again I find more beautiful and wonderful elements to the story. Michael Ende takes fantasy and fairy tale and makes them stunningly, marvelously, and achingly human. A great read for all ages; 5 stars does Not cover it!
