Margaret Pitcher’s Reviews > The Neverending Story > Status Update

I’m so disappointed. A memory of my kids’ childhood, watching the film and loving it. Tolkien it isn’t. As another reviewer says- it’s something in the language. Not simply the wordiness (I can happily read Dickens) but some gloomy feel about the book. Maybe it just doesn’t suit my mood at present! I’m flicking through as I’m writing this and the tone doesn’t seem to change much. Ah well…
