I'm a huge reader, massive... like, I spent up until I was about 29, 30 or so going to the library every week or two and getting 10 books out every time (That was the most you could get). I'd have read them all, and be champing at the bit to go back well within the week... it was a regular trip for us to go.

I've never actually read the Never Ending Story, and I loved the movie... one of my favourite childhood movies.

Going to have to give it a read...

You should definitely read it but I think the great thing about the book is that it can turn a kid into a reader. When they've watched the movie already I think some of the magic is gone and it's not as impactful.
