“One of the many books that I read as a child and the one that impressed me the most, so that scenes of it are vivid in my mind even today”

“I picked up this book after watching a Korean TV show where it mentions something about Momo and her friends. Frankly I was expecting a cheesy, children's fantasy story at first but wow, this book is way more than that. It's very sociological and I could also relate it to the gospel - God Vs. Satan, that sort of thing. It was amazing! It makes you think about your relationship with your family, especially with your children, friends, co-workers, etc. A great, great book!!”

“This is the amazing story of a girl far beyond ordinary, who despite her lack of education, has a wonderful ability to listen to others and help them make their lives better. It is a book that every kid must read, as it stands as a Marker in life.”

“Supongo que este libro lo tendría que haber leído años atrás o quizá no. Muy fácil de leer y con una gran moraleja: ¡No pierdas el tiempo! ¿O sí?”

“Better than I remembered from my childhood. Momo is the story of a girl who is basically a kind of muse. She can listen to people like no one else can, and by talking to her, people realise their own problems and solutions and find some inner peace. She can inspire the imaginations of children (and a storyteller) around her, without really doing much herself. She lives in the ruin of a Roman coliseum, and is visited by friends and neighbours.

And then one day, the grey men arrive, and start to steal the world...
It is a fascinating fairy tale. There are tales within tales (one of my strongest memories of tales is the one about the emperor who decided to build a better world...), there are magnificent flights of imagination, there is a magical, wonderful tortoise, and there is just about enough surreal in the story to be something I would consider art - a well-judged and at times genuinely creepy tale,
The resolution is not quite as wonderful as the rest of the novel, but it is a wonderfully written story. I have no idea whether it was ever translated into English (or whether the translation is good, like Cornelia Funke translations, or bad, like the Neverending Story translation). If you speak German and like children's literature, read this. It's wonderful.
(The movie really creeped me out as a kid though, and I did not really like the Momo of the film)”
“This book is about a girl who brought back the time.”

“Wow! The idea's in this book are phenomenal! The story is awesome, the characters are fun and real, but just the general idea is really unique! I wish there were more books like Momo!”
