Sein Herz war zu voll, als dass er hätte sprechen können.

Only Bastian can save this enchanted place of dragons, giants, monsters, and mysteries . . . but will he have to stay there forever?

Make sure to get a copy with the colored inks.

My favorite book hands down. It is so much better than the 80s movie and that's pretty hard to beat!

First half is the classic adventure one expects from Neverending Story. Second half is heavy on themes and takes its time getting there. An intriguing make it or break it situation based on others’ reviews. Definitely a made it for me — became a surprisingly emotional read I really connected with.

I really enjoyed this book but it truly feels like it’s never gonna end at some points which is obviously intentional but not really my kind of read

Bastian, Atreyu, the Childlike Empress—if you’re a child of the 80’s, these names instantly mean one thing: The Neverending Story. This was a huge hit movie in 1984, and if you’re feeling nostalgic, you’re in luck. Because once upon a time in Germany, The Neverending Story was a book. And with the re-issue edition of 1997, oh what a pretty book it is. Red ink for Bastian, scolded and bullied, who hides in the attic at school with a stolen book that quickly becomes the most important thing he’s ever done in his short lonely life. Green ink for Fantastica, the magical world that Bastian is reading about, where the Childlike Empress’s mysterious illness is causing a terrifying Nothingness to sweep across the land, and where all hope rests on the slim shoulders of the brave boy Atreyu. It’s rare to read such a colorful book (literally colorful with those different inks, and with fairy tale-style illustrations as well) and it’s rare to indulge so fully in the act of reading. We read not only about Bastian but about what Bastian is reading, a delightful circle that compliments the Neverending title. Saving a fantastic mythical world has never been such an interactive, collaborative experience. And if that doesn’t get you reading, just think back to the movie and remember how much you wanted to ride that big pink luckdragon.

Der erste Teil (der auch im ersten Film behandelt wurde) hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Im zweiten Teil schlichen sich dann leider deutliche Längen und Ermüdungserscheinungen ein - gefühlt hätte man auf die Seiten 300-400 komplett verzichten können. Vielleicht liegt das auch daran, dass ich mit Bastian als Figur insgesamt recht wenig anfangen konnte. #TeamAtreju
Dennoch schön, dass ich das Buch nun endlich einmal gelesen habe.

11 årige Bastian læser en bog - den uendelige historie - og lever så meget med, at han selv involveres i handlingen. Fantasifortælling

this was the first book I read on my own and the onw that started my love for reading, stories and books. this will forever have a special place in my heart.

I watched the movie probably a few dozen times as a kid and loved it. A couple of years ago, we got the book for my daughter, who was probably 8 at the time, and she seemed to like it. This summer, we took it on as a family reading project, and I've spent evenings over the last couple of weeks struggling through it. The book is delightful at times, very tedious at other times, and often random and outright bizarre. I wonder if there's not a lot of it that doesn't make more sense if you know more German folk tales or something.

Better just to stick to the movie in my opinion. There's better reading elsewhere.

In this classic fantasy novel, Bastian Balthazar Bux embarks on a wild adventure when he enters the magical world of Fantastica, a doomed land filled with dragons, giants, and monsters, and risks his life to save Fantastica by going on a very dangerous quest.

I don't think I really need to elaborate since there are plenty of reviews. I watched the movie when I was a child and love the movie fondly. I decided to read the book after finding out the movie was based on the book. 

There were 2 parts to the book and the first part of the book follows pretty closely to the movie. The book explained some details that were missed in the movie for me. I loved the first part of this book and wish it would have ended there. 

The second half of the book was a flop and the reason being was it was extremely boring. Nothing much was going on and it just died for me. If it wasn't for the first part being so favorable I would have given this 2 stars.

Shy, awkward Bastian is amazed to discover that he has become a character in the mysterious book he is reading and that he has an important mission to fulfill.

An amazingly intricate story...adults will enjoy this as much as older kids/young adults. The movie did not do this story justice...but, in "Hollywood's" defense, I don't see how they could have. This is a must read book in everyone's lifetime!
