5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Excelence, August 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Momo (Spanish Language Edition) (Paperback)

If you do not read Momo, you are missing a life changing experience. This book is by far the best book I have ever read. My words can not explain what admiration I have for the author Michael Ende. I simply must tell you to read this book. Stop whatever you are reading and read Momo. You will not regret one moment of it! Good luck, and remember to make time for the ones you love! <3

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly deep and beautiful book for all ages, January 9, 1999

This review is from: Momo (Spanish Language Edition) (Paperback)

It's very seldom that a book both takes hold of your heart *and* guides you through metaphors to notice something about reality that had previously escaped you. 'Momo' is such a book. Set in a fantasy world that parallels what we would consider ideal, 'Momo' is the story of a special girl observeing and trying to cope with/battle against the slow and unnoticed appearance of an army of grey men -- intent on stealing the free time from all the people in her world. The effects of this time theft is clever and in a way haunting; the world begins to become modernized, looking more and more like our own. To give away any more then that would be to give away the plot; trust me, it's a wonderfull, wonderfull read for adults and kids alike. I rank it up there with C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicals of Narnia".

man i loved this book! i read when i was barely able to have my attention focused on a book with no pictures! yeah. i didn't understand it fully then, and i don't think i ever will. michael ende weaves a beautiful tale of the girl momo and her fight for time. when i read it the first i was borrowing it and thought i'd never see it again. but here it is! probably one of the top ten best books i've ever read, if not number one!
