This was a really fun adventure. I listened to the audiobook for the first 60% but had to switch to a physical book because Bastion was too annoying in audio.

I never even saw the movie until I met my wife in my 30s. But as deeply as I love the movie, I love the book exponentially more. This will bear many re readings. If you’ve not yet read it, please - when you’ve time for a deeply practical but exquisite magic - sit down and read. It’s more than worth your time.

'Die unendliche Geschichte' is een spannend fantasyboek dat behoorlijk ingenieus in elkaar is gezet. De echte wereld en de wereld van Phantásien zijn zelfs typografisch herkenbaar: de eerste in rood, de tweede in groen. Het eerste deel, waarin we samen met het dikke jongetje Bastian de avonturen van de stoere jongen Atréju volgen is geweldig en terecht verfilmd. Daarna krijgt het boek een onverwachte wending, wisselt het van hoofdpersoon en wordt het dieper en gelaagder. Alleen is de nieuwe hoofdpersoon lang zo sympathiek niet als Atréju, en diens langzame verval door de corruptie van de macht geeft de tweede helft een nare bijsmaak. De fantasy-elementen zijn net zo goed verzonnen als in het eerste deel en het is juist dit tweede deel dat 'Die unendliche Geschichte' boven andere fantasyboeken doet uitstijgen, maar ik ben bang dat ik niet de enige ben die zich vooral het eerste deel herinnert en koestert...
