The Neverending Story



How would you like a story that never ended? Bastian Balthazar Bux had a passion for books and would love a story that didn't end. In this story, you join Bastian as he reads The Neverending Story in the attic of his school. Fantastica, the world inside the book, is in danger! The Nothing is spreading and the Childlike Empress is sick. A young boy named Atreyu is called upon to go on a quest to save Fantastic. Soon the answer is found. Only a human child can save Fantastica by giving the Childlike Empress a new name. Bastian becomes a part of the story and must partake on a quest of his own. It is a dangerous path, one he may never return from. You can become part of the neverending story too, if you dare to read it.




Many of you have probably seen the movie or a play. The book is just as thrilling, even without the special effects. It really does pull you in. I enjoyed it immensly and wouldn't mind re-reading it. I really recommend this book. I would rate it a 9 out of 10. This book is perfect for anyone who likes adventure mixed with suspense, magic, and even some humor.



*Note: I got a little mad and bored at the middle part of the end, but trust me, it's worth it to finish the book.

Perfect review, as usual. I just love reading your posts; they are so fabulous!

The play was great, and funny, too! I suggest everyone see the play if they haven't already. This sounds like a really cool book... did you like it better than the play or the movie?

Spectacular post, AG!!!
