No sé cuantas veces habré leído este libro, leí primero la historia interminable y me encantó pero Momo sigue siendo a día de hoy uno de mis libros favoritos,un libro que todo el mundo debería leer, más vigente hoy incluso que cuando se escribió.

Momo is pretty spot on for today's day and age - probably more than it was in the 70s when it was first published. I'm giving it five stars again but I feel like I have to add here that while this book was wonderful, The Neverending Story is and will always be the best book by Michael Ende in my opinion. (I never wrote a review for that so I feel like I haven't given it enough credit.)

Very great book. The last pages was like being with momo herself. I felt like I was running with her and when I finish the book I feel very exhausted. :D

This isn't the kind of 'popular' children's book that makes a big splash. I never heard of this as a child though I loved the adaptation of his other book The NeverEnding Story, that too was a book I first read as an adult.
Momo is wonderful. Unfortunately I can imagine many children today wouldn't have the patience with this sort of book, one that starts off meandering and setting the scene before the plot really starts.
It's the kind of book though they you think 'classic' about before you've finished the first couple of chapters. Ende's style of writing is straightforward and pulls you in. I loved the scene with the barber best when the Gray Man explains how he has wasted too much time and must save it. Very clever. The book is a little moralistic (stop rushing about, enjoy life more) but wrapped up in a lovely plot with great elements (Cassiopeia the tortoise was one of the best).
Imaginative and beautifully written, a lovely children's story about time and friendship.
