For those of you who have seen the movie please note that the end of the movie occurs about 3/8ths of the way through the book, and the rest is the best part. The book is 26 chapters long with each chapter beginning with letters A-Z.

What makes the Neverending Story so compelling to me is that it’s about the journey that one takes to discover what a person wants. It’s not about the journey of becoming an adult, but the much more difficult one of discovering oneself, and one’s desires.
