Book Reviews of Inkheart
Book Review: I can't wait for the 3rd volume and you'll be like me if you start
Summary: 5 Stars
You barely have time to breathe from the 1st word of this 1st volume until the last word of the 2d one.
A book about books, you hallucinate when finally you read about those character coming to life when you turn a page, when you go to sleep and think about them. When you read about the smell, the noise and feeling of a book in your hands. But it is much more than that. It is about going from one world (not in the future at all) to ours. It is about good and bad, treachery and trust, family and loneliness in one word as in a hundred it is about life. And what a life. There's a mix of fantasy and reality and I loved it. Cornelia Funke is a great writer, I can't stay in place waiting for the 3rd volume. Enjoy,
Claude
Summary of Inkheart
Meggie's father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book's wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie's mother in.Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!
Cornelia Funke's imaginative ode to books and book lovers is sure to be enjoyed by fans of her breakout debut, The Thief Lord, and young readers who enjoyed the similarly themed The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley. (Ages 10 to 15) --Jennifer Hubert
One cruel night, Meggie's father reads aloud from a book called INKHEART-- and an evil ruler escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. For only she can change the course of the story that has changed her life forever. This is INKHEART--a timeless tale about books, about imagination, about life. Dare to read it aloud.
