In this classic fantasy novel from author Michael Ende, small and insignificant Bastian Balthazar Bux is nobody's idea of a hero, least of all his own.

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.Damit beginnt das Abenteuer seines Lebens: „Tu was du willst“ steht auf dem Symbol der uneingeschränkten Herrschaftsgewalt in Phantásien. Doch was der Satz bedeutet, merkt Bastian erst als es fast schon zu spät ist. Denn seine wahre Aufgabe ist es nicht, Phantásien zu beherrschen, sondern wieder herauszufinden. Wie aber verläßt man ein Reich, das keine Grenzen hat? Mit seinem unsterblichen Meisterwerk schrieb sich Michael Ende in die Herzen …

About the first half of this book I though was utterly amazing. It was like something I had never read before and don't think anyone else could do storytelling the way Ende did. The interaction between the "real world" of Bastian reading the Never Ending Story, and the characters in the Never ending Stroy was such that I hanever experienced. However this absolute amazingness seemed to disappear in the later half of the book when Bastian actually is inside The never ending story, somewhat to return at then end when he gets home, but that was kind of to be expected by that point.
