5.0 out of 5 stars Your time is being stolen..., 27 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Momo is the only person in the world that can stand the influence of the grey men. Momo isa child with a special gift, and if you think there isn't anything special about knowing how to LISTEN, you are mightily wrong. This is a teriffic truth telling book about life in the modern world, and even if Ende uses magic to explain this, it doesn't mean there isn't truth in it. An enchanting read for children and adults alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought there were no more fairy tales..., 10 April 2000
By s437227@gettysburg.edu (United States (Gettysburg)) - See all my reviews
I had to read this book for my class in college, I thought it was only a fairy tale. Michael Ende was able to bring such important issues in our lives, through the lines of a book that applies to everyone. People are speeding and speeding their time only to realize how much are they loosing. I am only in college but this book had opened a lot of door to the world for me. It is a real thriller of present life, because everyone can see themselves in this true Master Creation of Michael Ende.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book form the author of "The Neverending Story", 21 Nov 1999
By mes_latoth@hotmail.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
Personally, I always tend to be reluctant to admit as to which of the two books is best - both are fantastic. MOMO shows in a very good way what the world has come to - how TIME itself is (mis-)used by adults and the price it comes with.

Truly, a great book for both children *AND* adults, I can recommend this tome of wisdom as sincerely without doubts as I can recommend "The Neverending Story".
