Reddit reviews The Neverending Story

>Bastian had shown the lion the inscription on the reverse side of the Gem. "What do you suppose it means?" he asked. "'DO WHAT YOU WISH.' That must mean I can do anything I feel like. Don't you think so?"

>All at once Grograman's face looked alarmingly grave, and his eyes glowed. "No," he said in his deep, rumbling voice. "It means that you must do what you really and truly want. And nothing is more difficult."

>"What I really and truly want? What do you mean by that?"

>"It's your own deepest secret and you yourself don't know it."

>“How can I find out?”

> “By going the way of your wishes, from one to another, from first to last. It will take you to what you really and truly want.”

>“That doesn’t sound so hard,” said Bastian.

>“It is the most dangerous of all journeys.”

>“Why?” Bastian asked. “I’m not afraid.”

>“That isn’t it,” Grograman rumbled. “It requires the greatest honesty and vigilance, because there’s no other journey on which it’s so easy to lose yourself forever.”

>"Do you mean because our wishes aren't always good?" Bastion asked.

>The lion lashed the sand he was lying on with his tail. His ears lay flat, he screwed up his nose, and his eyes flashed fire. Involuntarily Bastian ducked when Grograman's voice once again made the earth tremble:

>"What do you know about wishes? How would you know what's good and what isn't?"

I fell in love with The Castle in the Attic when I was a kid. Your kid miiiiiight be able to read The Neverending Story, but I heartily recommend The Wizard of Oz, The Jungle Book, and Alice in Wonderland. In a year or two, give him A Wrinkle in Time. I think you can find all those latter books at Project Gutenberg.

Have you considered reading to him yourself?

Pigs are awesome

A used copy of The Neverending Story is less than $5!

Edit: I love that autocorrect changed pugs to pigs. Pugs are awesome

You ALL still have Zoidberg! And so does John Green! :) i am currently reading The Fault in Our Stars but I would love to own The Neverending Story :) Thank you for the contest!

We have no idea what our galaxy looks like for sure. Until we have sent something beyond it's limits to take pictures we can only guess.

The Neverending Story or any penny book really.

Thanks so much for the contest! =D

I'd love this if I win!

A great piece of advice I once heard was to always remember that everyone is fighting their own battle, and to be kind to everyone because we never know what theirs is.

life is like a box of chocolates!

Well, my faves are:

• The Alchemist
  
  
• Rationality from AI to Zombies
  
  
• Neverending Story
  
  
• Set in Stone
  
  
• Unnatural Selection
  
  
• Sleeping with the Girls
  
  They aren't all of my favorites, but they are some of the top ones.

Childhood favorite, read it in a single sitting while perched in a tree.

From my list, I love the old B.C and Wizard of Id comics.

Thank you for the contest!

Try this book.

Here you go. Although, I would recommend the hardback version because the different places or characters that it follows are in separate colors.
