Book Review of The Neverending Story

The Neverending Story
reviewed on + 350 more book reviews


Extremely imaginative and wonderful. It was really thought provoking and interesting!! I loved learning of the entire story and being able to adore certain characters and creatures. I have always adored the first movie (my second favorite of all time) and knew the book had even more involved in the story. Read this book to learn more. I was so addicted to reading it that I hardly put it down and was able to read it so quickly. It has valuable lessons. There are a few graphic violent bits and one swear word, but otherwise I think this would be great for a child to read if they are 13 and older (or adults like me, who truly can enjoy it). In case you are unfamiliar to the tale, it is about a boy named Bastian who gets mocked and has a difficult homelife situation. He feels truly down in life but comes across a book which he loved to read so much that he felt as if he were part of the story. Of course there is SO much more than just that to it! I don't want to give anything away!
