The Neverending Story by Michael is an exciting fantasy adventure story
about a young boy who comes across a magical book. As he starts to read
the book he begins to suspect that there is something very strange about
it and the more he reads the more he quite literally gets sucked into
the story. This is one of my favorite books of all time and I think I
enjoy it only slightly less as an adult than I did as a child. What I
love about this book isn't just the story, but the book itself which is a
work of art. The book is printed in two colors to help differentiate
between what is happening with the main character and what is going on
in the book he is reading. There are also beautiful illustrations at the
beginning of each chapter. I know some editions are in black and white
so I would recommend finding a color version to get the full experience.
This book is geared towards children/young adults but I think other
adults will enjoy it as much as I did especially if they enjoy stories
such as Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and The Chronicles of
Narnia.
