The Neverending Story | Michael Ende, Ralph Manheim

“It's always been there, the darkness in the world. Thick and black, smeared all around us. What if we were the only ones who saw it? What if we didn't like it? What if we wanted to find a way out?“

The Neverending Story | Michael Ende, Ralph Manheim

This book can be used to discuss the interplay between fiction and reality, as well as the significance of imagination in literature. I personally was not as into this book when i started it, but can see it be a fan favorite for other audiences.

The Neverending Story is a journey into the world of Fantastica. It explores themes of imagination, the power of storytelling, and the relationship between fantasy and reality. It's a celebration of the creative mind

I‘m late! #Titlesandtunes #guiltypleasure
My guilty pleasure is re-reading again, my favourite book from childhood. This book to me is like a hug, a snuggly blanket, a ray of sunshine, a rainbow in the rain! The song is ‘Chocolate‘ by Big boi. Something I eat way too much of. I think the song has a double meaning but I‘ll ignore it. It‘s very catchy too! @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Haha!! Can‘t wait to listen to the lyrics 😁🎶 10mo
Cinfhen And you‘re not late ⏰ timing is perfect 🩷 10mo
Centique Oh my god I love this book too! Reading it the first time when I was maybe 18 or 19 was one of my best ever reading experiences. I must reread it soon 😍 10mo

Admittedly I watched the movie before reading the book, so I should have expected the differences. I adored this fantastical world full of adventure and a bundle of different unique characters. I loved how the story sort of switches POV in the first half, it makes it feel even more magical and creates such a fun way of telling the story. The book has so much more than the movie so I did get a little confused and overwhelmed at times. Overall great

I guess if everyone is sharing book shelves I'll join the fun. This is just part of the 2 bookcases I have in my living room. (They flank the tv.) I have more in the hall, and in my "fortress of solitude" room. I live in a small space or would have more. Even so by recent count I do have just over 500 books in my space. (Not counting those on my kindle.)

Unpopular opinion, here I am! 🙋🏻‍♀️
Maybe when I was younger I would have enjoyed this more, but I thought it was too long and had too many characters and places.. and don't get me started on Bastian, I hated his character for half the book!!!
Glad I finally read this book, but I'm a little disappointed..

This is a low pick because while I get that the ending is the purpose I wasn‘t quite thrilled with how it got there. It was nice to read the book though because as much as I‘ve seen the movie it really only covers half the book.

I personally think this book would have been better if it was a series of novellas. It seemed that I would read a chapter and expect it to be over, even though I was only 50 pages in. It was almost like it was… neverending. I only really read this because I wanted to find out what happened. I wasn‘t really a huge fan of the writing style and honestly, I spaced out while reading this. 3⭐️

My husband bought me a rebound copy of one of my favorites. I've read that the movie version only covers the 1st 2/5th's of the book. I definitely believe that. There is so much more in the book! I have it displayed with my foo dogs because that is how I've always pictured Falkors face as I read it. The workmanship of this copy is amazing. I'm so excited I get to look at this everyday.

I'm basically an 8 year old in a grown mans body. I have to sticker everything. 😅

(The top sticker is The Auryn from the Neverending Story (one of the greatest 80's movies of all time)).

The bottom one is just a gentle reminder that I don't have to worry. Sometimes I get confused & panic. 🤭

It did feel at times like this book would NEVER end. It is long, complicated, and jam-packed with every kind of magical character, item, challenge, and landscape imaginable. It felt like too much until it felt brilliant, ambitious, and a meditation on the human condition. And ultimately, it's hard to resist a book about the power of stories and imagination to save us.

nanuska_153 This book blew my mind when I was a kid, as an adult I appreciate more Momo, but The Neverending Story will always have a special place in my heart ♥️ I will always remember the first time I read how Bastian loved reading and books like I did and I thought "THIS BOOK UNDERSTANDS ME!"?? 3y
Liz_M I love the 80s song 😁 and have enjoyed the movie, but never read the book. 3y
merelybookish @nanuska_153 Yes, it is definitely a book that gets readers! I haven't read anything else by him but do have one on my shelf. 3y
merelybookish @Liz_M I don't remember the movie but saw it when I was a kid. But @Centique said on an earlier post the book and movie are quite different which doesn't surprise me because the book is so full! No way you could fit it all into 2 hours. 3y
Centique I‘m glad you liked it! I was a lot younger when I read it but I hoped it would hold up well. It was such a much needed escape for me at the time to read this book - one of those times when the right book comes along at the right moment 💕 3y
