I liked Redwall by Brian Jacques so much I’ve considered re-reading it.

I’m currently reading The Neverending Story and am enjoying it more than I anticipated.

Film is better IMO but I liked the book as a kid

The Neverending Story, I presume?

I totally agree, I love the movie and for me way too much happens in the book.

It feels like an achievement that they made such a good movie out of the first 1/3 of the book!

Totally agree! Not a fan of the sequels though...

I’ve actually never seen them, despite growing up with the original!

They looked like a pretty severe drop in quality so even as a kid I was like “what is this crap?”

The Neverending Story book is weird. The film is just the first half of the book. Then the second half does its own thing and it didn't really click for me. One of the few where I think the movie is better. The Last Unicorn book clicked with me more, but I still think the film was a little better.

My lord, the rest of The Neverending Story really felt like the title. It just kept meandering.

I appreciate the creativity but the movie cut it off at the right time.
