Amber Dickson reviewed The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
Review of 'The Neverending Story' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Based on my memory of reading this book when I was 10 or 11 years old, I had given this book 5 stars and considered it a favourite. However after reading it aloud to my children (11 and 8) I realise that I remembered only the first half of the book (the part which was adapted for film in 1984) and that I had all but forgotten the second half. The reason for this is that it is interminable and dull. So, to update my star rating: 4 stars for the first half and 2 stars for the second half, which averages out to 3 stars. The kids agree with me.
