I've been wanting to read the actual story ever since I'd heard the movie was based off it.
The first half of the book is very similar to the movie and the movie was smart not to cover the 2nd half of the book, which is a mess.
Basically Bastion (who's a fat kid) has all these weird one off "adventures" where he wishes something, it comes true. He deals with it and moves on to the next wish.
None of it is intriguing and though Neverending Story II is loosely based off the 2nd half but Hollywood tried their best to shine up that turd.
Overall, I wouldn't suggest people read it. Sadly the author's creativity ends midway through the book when he gives the childlike empress her name....Moon Child.
After that, you can put down the book and stop reading.
