Neverending is right. . .

Honestly my favorite book and I swear if someone tries to say that they don't want to read this book because the movie sucked I will slap you. This is a BIZZILION times better than the movie. Please read!

This reminded me of the wizard of oz or the phantom tollbooth. Wish I would have been brave enough to attempt this in German. The first half was great (the movie only made it through the first half). the second half was a little meandery and got bogged down with the moral but I did like it and found it worth reading.

¡Increíble, mágico, perfecto!. No puedo resumir en palabras la grandeza de este libro. Es una pena que aunque de pequeña vi muchas veces la película, porque mis hermanos eran muy fans, no sea sino hasta ahora que lo pudiese leer. Entiendo perfectamente porque el libro es una pilar de referencia para muchas otras obras, esta escrito magníficamente.
Si aun no lo han leído, corran para que conozcan Fantasía de la mano de Bastián, puedan volar junto a Atreyu en Fúfur, y darle un nuevo nombre a La Emperatriz Infantil, no se arrepentirán.

"Hay tantas pasiones distintas como hombres distintos hay. La pasión de Bastián Baltasar Bux eran los libros"

"Toda historia es una Historia Interminable. Dejó vagar la mirada sobre sus muchos libros, que llegaban por las paredes hasta el techo, y luego, señalando con el mango de la pipa, continuó:
Hay muchas puertas para ir a Fantasia, muchacho. Y hay todavía más libros mágicos. Muchos no se dan cuenta. Todo depende de quién coge uno de esos libros".

LOVE IT! Moon child!!

What can you say about a childhood favorite really? Children's literature offers a message. I just love a story with one of those. Do what you wish, but be careful what you wish for.

I had to add this after seeing one of my friends is reading it. It is a great book. If you are a fantasy fan then you really have to read this. If you have only seen the movie, which is great for its own reasons, but not the book, give it a shot. It starts a little slowly, but turns into a wonderful story about the importance of belief in fantasy and imagination.

Magical. I wish I had read this book when I was a kid. Originally written in German, I found the translation spot on and not at all choppy, despite having so many make-believe places and characters. The story flowed well and was entrancing. The only thing I didn't like is when the author is done with a character, they are often phased out with a phrase like "that's a story for another time", which makes it seem like the author plans on writing a several more stories later on to continue those additional story lines, when those characters are so small, you, as a reader, know there will be no such stories.
