That's a long audiobook! <br /><br />I think the story works much better visually and the way the film maker adapted sounds much better. I LOVED the first two movies as a kid (and I still watch them on TV when they are on). That wolf terrified me, LOL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145140303960949029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-51857476933977219452013-03-04T12:06:29.063-05:002013-03-04T12:06:29.063-05:00I really could not believe how awful this book was...I really could not believe how awful this book was.

A couple of times actually, and I really liked it!! But I can imagine that listening to the audiobook version might be a little rough to get through... At least I know to stay away from that now though!! I may check out the print version though, because it sounds like its written in a really cool way with the pictures and the different colour inks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856229070433605468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-42514119712973080182013-02-18T09:47:49.139-05:002013-02-18T09:47:49.139-05:00That would be my recommendation.

It's rare, but just watch the film. <br /><br />I got to the middle of the book, and that's where it really started to lose me. That's also where we got Jonathan Brandis as new Bastian in The NeverEnding Story II movie. And don't even glance at The NeverEnding Story III. I stumbled upon it once on television, watched five minutes, then wept for my childhood.Bibliosaurus Texthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038437731726542781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-54873045377921187812013-02-12T14:40:08.106-05:002013-02-12T14:40:08.106-05:00Do you just skip them? http://www.youtube.com/watc...Do you just skip them? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql1IFJwF0SQChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-78320510816546897092013-02-12T14:28:04.279-05:002013-02-12T14:28:04.279-05:00The movie, silly!

Maybe you'd have enjoyed more if you'd read it because the book has a lot of pictures and Bastian's story is written with red ink and Atreyu's story is written with green ink which it's one thing I liked.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689020295710588081noreply@blogger.com
