I really liked it but the plot conveniences were a little too visible for me. And having read this after Momo I'm sort of getting the feeling that when you have read one book by Ende, you've read all of them. Plot-wise, at least. Or at least in the sense of how the plot is finally resolved. 
And there were some problematic things, like fat-phobia. But I was able to let those slide a little because the book is kinda old.
