It definitely gets into Bastian's life more. His relationship with his father is explored and the repercussions of his taking the book too. Bastian has to learn a lot about himself and you get to see how it will shape his life in our world which is, to me, one of the best parts of the book.

I love the book. It doesn't read like a native English book but I enjoy the way it is translated, it has a poetry to it that appeals to me (I don't read or speak German, I just like the way things are worded). I've only read one other book by Michael Ende, "Momo," but it also reads as a very metaphorical magical tale. I like books that have an old-fashioned moral core and by that I don't mean old-fashioned values per se but the old-fashioned idea that books should teach a moral and not just tell a story.
One of my favorite things about the book when I first read it (borrowed from the library) was the red and green printing Honeycomb mentioned. The first copy I purchased didn't have it and I was sorely disappointed but the copy I have now does and it really adds to the magic in my mind.

I'm barely posting because I keep answering these questions on my Q&A post but rest assured partner, I have a strange obsession with question answering so if the question is asked, check my Q&A post because I will have answered it.

I have no idea what the Hong Kong Disneyland pin says but I think it was listed as a Chinese New Year pin.
I'm not sure if it means the same thing in China but in Japanese the character is read fuku and it means luck. It's used very commonly for the New Year.

Anything else you want your partner to know? If you buy stickers for a nine year old girly-girl in 1986, you'll be golden
Allergies? mushrooms, cigarette smoke, mold, very strong artificial scents (I like scratch and sniff stickers but no "air freshner" type scents) Iridescent, mint green, pink and silver (mostly any cool toned pastel) Favorite candy? Bubble gum Do you like handmade things? Love them!  What do you use your stickers for? Collecting first and foremost, decorating, card making, collage making... Are there any extras you might like that relate to your sticker hobby? I love almost all types of stationery goods (although I don't need any more memo pads or sticky notes) as well as washi tape and small boxes, envelopes or containers with which to sort and store stickers. Partner are there any UK goodies you would like as extras in your box? Any of the UK exclusive retro MLP stationery goods or G4 stationery goods would be ginger peachy! I also love tea (but not Earl Grey - not a fan of bergamot in tea) and tea accouterments. Coffee, Tea, other Favorite Beverage? Tea I like black tea best with milk and honey but I also like fruit and chocolate herbal tea for evenings. What kinds of sticker albums do you like:I never trust sticker albums to release my stickers after a traumatic event in elementary school so I don't use any currently. Once upon a time I had something akin to a photo album that had clear sheets of pockets for stickers and that was perfect! If you do find something like that partner, always opt for maximum pastel 80s cuteness! Between these 3 G4 ponies, which do you like most: Fluttershy, Applejack, or Rarity? Rarity! Have you heard of the designer stationary company, Pink Chandeleir? I hadn't but it sounded adorable so I looked it up. Is this the same as Pink Light? Their floral designs in particular are so cheerful! What are your hobbies and interests? My hobbies are reading, writing, herbalism, crafting, thrifting, tea ceremony, travelling and dressing up in vintage outfits. What kinds of things do you like as extras? I like blind bags and craft supplies and small collectibles. I'm most impressed by things that show some research. I've been doing swaps for a couple of years so if you read my older swap questions you'll get pretty detailed descriptions of exactly what I like.  Stationary items, pencil case, shopping bag or key covers? pencil case, I especially love tin pencil cases Do you like Disney characters? If so...which? Do you like the classics? (Mickey Minnie Donald Daisy) or only newer ones? I'm not a big fan of Disney's main characters. Daisy and Minnie in retro garb can be adorable but that's about it. My favorite characters are: Miss Bianca from The Rescuers, Lady from Lady and the Tramp, Marie and Duchess from the Aristocats, Robin Hood and Maid Marian, and although I like all the princesses, Belle is my favorite. I also like fairies like Tinker Bell. We are making an impromptu trip to Disneyland this week...is there anything you may like from there partner? Paper-cut art, if it's available, would be lovely. Also maybe pens with glitter tubes with any of the characters listed above. What are your favorite color(s)? Iridescent, pink with mint green, violet, silver and other cool toned pastels Do you have a pony OC? If not, favorite pony? I don't have a real OC. Sonnet (my avatar) is the closest and I had a ponicature drawn at a convention but I don't have the feeling of connection with either of them that I think most people with ponysonas do. My favorite G1 is Glory and my favorite G4 in Rarity. Close second favorites? G1 - Windy, G4 - Pinkie Pie. Do you have pets and can I please include something for them? My husband and I have two cats. His is a Korat mix and mine is a Ragdoll. They love boxes and string and Luna, my Ragdoll, will play with crumpled up paper until she puts it in her water dish and it falls apart. So as long as you put wrapped presents in a cardboard box (it doesn't need to be big enough for a cat, in fact trying to fit in small boxes is its own fun challenge) you will have pleased our cats. ^_^ (However I'd love some Ragdoll stickers!) Do you want your box decorated or would you prefer that is not done? Decorated boxes are fun! My only caveat is that you don't use any stickers I'd love that can't be found unused inside as well. I will be very sad if I have to see wonderful stickers that I can't use. Do you like cute bugs, reptiles, butterflies, dragons and dinosaurs? There are only three kinds of bugs I like in the decorative sense - butterflies, lightning bugs (fireflies) and ladybugs. I am otherwise terrified of bugs in general. I don't like most reptiles, dragons and dinosaurs so I'm not looking to collect stickers of them. Sorry... I sound like such a girly-girl but I do like earthworms and toads in real life! Do you like tsum tsums? If so are there any you're looking for? I do. I am currently looking for Eeyore for my husband who is a total Eeyore. How about coffee mugs? I'm more of a teacup collector but I do treasure my vintage Tenderheart Bear mug so if it's got one of my interests emblazoned on it, go for it! Do you want me to ship early OR do you want me to look for some things in China? I'm sure you could find a good bit of cuteness in China but whatever works best for you is fine.
