Oh well, my lasting thought after reading TNS now is. Soon, however, Bastian must realise that he is more than an. Full of enthusiasm, he takes part in the adventures of its hero Atreyu and in his dangerous mission: He is supposed to save the dreamland Fantastica and its sovereign the Childlike Empress. This book transports him to a land called Fantastica which is. He is supposed to be the hero of the book (or is that Atreyu?), shouldn't we like him?Īll in all I thoroughly enjoyed reading TNS, it brought back a lot of childhood memories, which are always enjoyed, even if they were of the movie and not the book. A mysterious book fascinates young Bastian: The Neverending Story. In The Neverending Story book, a character named Bastian is drawn to a book he finds in a bookstore called The Neverending Story. Ende was going for, why should we like Bastian if he doesn't even like himself, but it just gnawed at me throughout. I understand he was a human in Fantastica and all he was losing himself and his memory and all that jazz, but he didn't keep any shred of likeableness (if that's a word). one of the main things that bothered me throughout, I guess the second half of the book is that I really, really, didn't like Bastian at all.

Needless to say it didn't work out to well, and anyway what movie and book are really the same? Anyway, my impressions of the book version of TNS. The Neverending Story, what can I say, well, first off, I couldn't help but compare the book to the movie in my head, even though I haven't seen the movie in god knows how many years, and this is the first time I've read the book.
