The Never Ending Story

Michael Ende and Ralph Manheim
Even if you have seen the movie, the book is a must read!! the movie has always been a favorite of mine and so when our book club choose it I was very excited to read it. Little did I know that the movie does no justice whatsoever to the book. The movie covers about the first 1/4th of the book and by this time Matt and I are looking at the 350 pages that were left and wondering what they could possibly cover.
There is a lot more to the adventure, but aside from that the book is actually very deep in symbolism and analogy, things that were absent from the movie. We had so many deep, thoughtful discussions that could actually be compared to our every-day lives. It reminded me a lot of the Narnia books.
I am so glad I had the chance to experience this book with my children!
