i wish i had found momo years ago, but at least i found her now!! i’ll never forget this book.
it is unbelieveable!
i love, i adore this book and i cannot believe how it was written in 1973 and can still be so true and so adaptable onto our time, which currently ticking by.
i do not wanna spoil anything and i think everyone deserves to read and SHOULD read this book in order to bethink our "standards" with handling our time and in order to use time usefully and meaningfully -- whatever this means to each and everyone of us!
a manifesto to be conscious about our surroundings, our friends and our time on this earth -- use it wisely!

Es un buen libro, pero en lo personal no me gustó del todo. Creo que simplemente no es para mí.
a mi parecer los hombres grises son una alegoría al capitalismo y como los habitantes de sienten enajenados en las actividades que hacen. También cómo las ganas de ser productivo le quitan el alma a las personas, volviéndose un simple objeto

I have a hit or miss relationship with Ende. I was obsessed with the movie adaptation of [b:The Neverending Story|27712|The Neverending Story|Michael Ende|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554230952l/27712._SY75_.jpg|1122661] when I was little, and a few years ago I decided to read the book, and in one of those rare occasions, I found the book was worse than the movie. It went on for far too long past the climax of the story and it was generally underwhelming and less vivid than the way the movie portrayed the characters. Of course, most of these feelings have to do with my attachment to the movie, but I stand behind the statement that the pacing of the book is worse. Then I tried reading his surrealist short stories for adults, [b:El espejo en el espejo|187576|El espejo en el espejo|Michael Ende|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493242132l/187576._SY75_.jpg|28324], and while I found some of them interesting, most of them were so bizarre they went right over my head. And then, there's this book. It's an absolute gem.
This is a children's book about a topic that has adults currently worried about: wasting time, what that means, and what we should be doing about it. It uses incredibly effective imagery to illustrate the issue, and the solution is clear as day. Turns out, spending time with your loved ones is what matters in the end, and the only way not to waste your time is to actually use it for worthwhile things. What a concept! An absolutely lovely book that I think adults may be able to appreciate even more than kids.
