I was very disappointed with this book. I loved the movie and therefore, I loved the first half of the book. It was such a quick read and I loved following along and remembering the movie. Then, we enter the territory of Bastian visiting Fantastica and it all went south for me. Not only did I not like Bastian during the second half of the book, I actually loathed him. If I had known that I was going to dislike Bastian so much at the end of the book, I would never have read it. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and this is one book that reinforced that for me. Honestly, if you are a fan of the movie and especially a fan of Bastian, you should steer clear of this book; it could ruin a great character for you.
