RE: Book Review: The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

in #books8 years ago

ah. you are right. not disney but wb. but they twisted the story so much from the original. In the book Bastian makes his misery by his wishes, but it is a necessary process. The movie makes it seem like Xayide is a nemesis but that is a very naive interpretation, and this ruins the whole thing for me. The reason why the book is so good is because it makes you hate Bastian.
