Michael Ende: Die unendliche Geschichte (German language) 5 stars

The Neverending Story (German: Die unendliche Geschichte) is a fantasy novel by German writer Michael …

"The Neverending Story" is one of the best works of children's literature I know - and I do mean literature in the most profound way. I mean, one of its central themes is the Thelema (of Aleister Crowley) fame, and there's a lot more depth than what you'd find in, say, the average Harry Potter book.

It also has plenty of inspiration for fantastic #ttrpg scenery. But do me a favor and read the book - ignore the rather disappointing movies.

My hardcover of this is one of my most prized possessions. The first movie was honestly pretty good. The second... well, the second half of the book is NOT something that can be easily adapted into a children's film. And the less said about part 3 the better.

I actually have STLs waiting for me to start printing again, of movie 1 Falkor and Atreyu and Artax in the swamp.
