The Night Of Wishes
This book is about a cat and a raven who have to stop an evil thing from happning.. Two evil sorcerers have not filled out their requirements to the devil and have midnight to do so. They brew up a notion ption which will grant them wishes untill midnight but they have to finish all of the potion or the wishes will come true exactly the opposite. This is where the aniimals come in. They have to try and make sure that the potion is not finished. This is a wonderful story that has fantasy, adventure, and a little humor in it. This is definatly my favorite book. IT is not worth a 10, more like a 15!
The Night Of Wishes
Can I give it less than 1 star? After reading Ende's Neverending Story I was eager to read Night of Wishes. Unfortunately, this novel suffers greatly in translation and lacked the charm and inventiveness of Story. The word play and potion descriptions were contrived and proved tiresome. I was greatly disappointed that A Night of Wishes amounted to an evening wasted.
The Night Of Wishes
This was a good book. I loved every part of it. There are no parts that were better than the rest, although the whole book was remarkably good, and there were no complaints.
The Night Of Wishes
This book is awsome and keeps you wanting to read. A true page turner, alot better than the Never Ending story!
The Night Of Wishes
I love this story both for its uniqueness and darkness. Everything about it is infinitely creative and original, from the thumb-striking clock that marks the passage of time with an "ouch" instead of the same old "cuckoo," to the fantastically twisted characters. However, this is not really a book for children. I think it is best read by teens and adults, (or mature younger readers!) The story involves two wicked individuals working for the Devil Himself to destroy the world. There is still hope though, in two raggedy animals who have just one night to foil their masters' plans! For an extra fun experience, I suggest you read this book in real time. It takes place in the course of that single evening, and there is even a clock every few pages to let you know how much time remains! If you crave dark stuff, or just enjoy really original stories, you'll fall in love with THE NIGHT OF WISHES!

This is my favorite book since I've read it 5 years ago. The cat (a little dumb) und the always so pessimistic raven are well worked-out caracters and I really love them. Sometimes I wonder how Mr. Ende managed to invent all those words to describe the ingredients of the notion potion. Beeing German I know both versions - the German original and the English translation, which sometimes does not manage to give all the brilliant word-inventions an equal English meaning. So if you understand some German - buy both versions and you'll enjoy Michael Endes magic.
