Summary: Inkhearts has a few faults
Review: Malcoms character was displayed with much contrast to the sixth Harry Potter: The Drunken Rapeist Goblin. In the case of other character developement, the movies played inside the book cover contradicted my opinion of Niel. Maleags wings pop-up feature made the book an awsome pillow to sleep on, while the young women in the book kept on yelling about complete nonsense. I personally hate when people make no sense about things and are always off topic lik hannibal in the 1st Harry Potter

Summary: An honest parable
Review: Consider your favorite fictional character from childhood. Now imagine that character suddenly appearing beside you in your foyer. Such is the premise of Cornelia Funke's eloquent, "Inkheart". As evocative as her,"Thief Lord", Funke's twelve year-old Meggie lives with her kindly father Mo, a man with the ability to read books to life. The duo face off with Capricorn, a villain Mo once read from an almost extinct book. Funke fills her story with characters both menacing and tragic. The pitiable jester Dustfinger, also read from Capricorn's story, wants nothing except to return to the world he loved. Though a well thought out story, at 534 pages the book is a bit lengthy. One could also quibble that the villain does nothing to instill the reader with real fear. Yet children who would love to meet their favorite book friends will instantly gravitate to this new and delightful story.

Summary: FASCINATING READ
Review: I am a grandmother but an avid reader of ALL books and I sometimes peruse the children's category to see what is a-foot for small fry. This is a wonderful story for children from 10 up. It's a bit tedious and scary for under that age. this is a must - for the parents as well. I have enjoyed reading this story - so very different from others - and will give it to my grandchildren. Please indulge your curiousity with this one!

Summary: Dark
Review: This book is well written but NOT for young readers. The evil was too pervasive and cruel. I felt the plot did not advance as much as mire itself in one evil threat after another. The concept of a well-read story being real has wonderful possibilities that I felt weren't reached in this book.

Summary: A Magical Adventure
Review: this book is one of the best books I have ever read!!! It has fantasy, magic and adveture wrapped inside it's 500 pages. It is about a twelve year-old girl named Meggie and her father, Mo and how one book by the name of Inkheart changes their lives. This book age would probably range between fourth graders and up. For the litteler kids I would suggest her other fantasy novel, Thief Lord. The book was fantastic and I never wanted to put it down. One of the characters has a tendency to swear,(if that makes any difference). The only thing I might want to change in this book is that I thought we were actuallt going to go into the book, Inkheart. I love fantasy books but I thought it could have been more interesting (not that it's not interesting) if we went into the book. I love trolls and goblins, faeries, that sort of things and it would have been cool if we got to have an opinion from their piont of veiw. Other than that, this book was amazing and I would give it two and three fourths of a thumb, up!!!

Review: This book wasn't as fun to read as King Fortis the Brave or Harry Potter, but it wasn't too bad. I think everyone should read it.

Summary: Destined to Become a Classic
Review: I found Cornelia Funke's first novel, THE THIEF LORD very much a novel for kids. INKHEART, however, is a story anyone of any age can enjoy. A wonderful mix of fantasy, humor, bittersweet stories, and adventure, INKHEART pulls you in just as well as Mo can pull characters out of books. This is a great book to hold you over if you're already waiting for the next Harry Potter.

Summary: Complex and Enthralling Tale
Review: From the very first pages of this wonderfully well constructed tale, to the very last page, I was hooked. The words of the author evoke wonderfully clear pictures in the reader's mind and the air of suspense is maintained without terrifying younger readers. I would reccommend this book to any reader from fifth grade to adult. The characters were believable and, as a reader, I cared what happened to them. The reverence for books made it doubly rewarding. ...

Summary: Fantastic Second Novel From Cornelia Funke
Review: This fantastic book by the author of the wonderful, "Thief Lord" should firmly plant her among the all time great young adult writers. Meggie, a young girl,lives with her father Mo, a book restorer. One evening a mysterious man appears at their doorway asking for her fathers help in finding a very special book that is connected to both this man and her father.
It seems this book, a fantasy with fairies and giants, has had released from it's pages a frightening and evil man named Capricorn. What happens is the adventure of a lifetime full of great characters, some of which from classic literature.
Apparently this is the first book in an intended trilogy that is being hotly pursued for feature rights. The author had said she always envisioned Brendan Fraser for the father MO, and either Daniel Day-Lewis or Viggo Mortensen as the wicked Capricorn. I say, read this terrific book and visualize your own characters. They will stay with you long after the final captivating page!

Summary: One of My Favorite Books
Review: This book is a very good book. And when I say good, I mean good. Its starts to get interesting right from the first few pages. It may sound funny, but this book Inkheart, is about a book called Inkheart. The story of this book is very amazing and once you start reading, you could hardly stop reading. I thought the idea of characters being read out of books as a very interesting idea and unique one. I would recommend this book to everyone. This is the best book I have read ever since the Redwall series.
