The Neverending Story

This is a tough book to review.  Many, many people have seen the ubiquitous 1980s film.  What most don’t know is that the film is just the first half of the book.  The second half is very dark.  It is about wanting to be someone else so much, you forget who you really are.  It is also a journey through grief, as the main character slowly forgets about his deceased mother and grieving father.  It’s so much deeper than what the film presented that it took me off guard, save for a warning from my friend John who had read it about five years ago.  I’ll do the best plot summary I can, although there will be some spoilers for the first half of the book.
