The Neverending Story
I highly recommend the book (in addition to the first movie). The movie ends not even halfway through the book. There is so much more being said, that is best illustrated in words. Though, as in the movie, G'mork (black wolf hunter in the movie) is not seen nor referred to as much, G'mork is more evil than the movie illustrated. There is more to The Nothing, and even it is made more eerie via the book. Bastain is not the cute little kid the movie portrayed him to be. He is far more vulnerable. The Childlike Empress--played by Tami Stronach in the movie (you can google her-she's 32 now. Looks great)? So much more to her, and yet still a mystery. The horrible second movie takes elements from the second part of the book, though the book is not horrible like that second movie. Michael Ende, the author, is trying to say something else with the book. It's up to you to interpret it as you see fit.
