Inkheart
Cornelia Funke
Meggie, her dad Mo and a mysterious man called Dustfinger travel to Meggies Aunt Elinor's house for some reason Meggie doesn't know. When Mo is captured and Meggie finds out why, she finds herself tangled in a web of evil, where things can come alive straight out of books. It is left up to her to fix everything with only a few words. As Meggie bravely plans a solution, secrets are uncovered as the truth unravels itself. The book Inkheart is about books coming to life, a girl finding her true self, and the power of words.
Funke puts a message in this book that says loud and clear; don't trust everyone. She also says have courage, don't give up, and don't judge a book by its cover. Throughout the book, the characters learn these important lessons. Sometimes they learn them the hard way, but they learn them anyway.
This book has scary bends, twisting turns, and sometimes heart-stopping loop-the-loops, like a roller coaster. Some parts made me want to scream out loud with suspense. This fantasy is very well written. It left me wondering, is it really possible you can read something out of a book??? This book is entertaining for all ages. I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure, fantasy, and a few laughs! Don't forget to get the awesome sequel; Inkspell!!!
Book Review: "A book worth reading by a long shot."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a brilliant book. Very brilliant, and kudos to Cornelia Funke for writing it. This cunningly written tale ensues adventure, hope,evil, and humour. (Even though none of those things are closely related.) It begins with a girl named Meggie and her father, a bookbinder, oh, and books. During a stormy night Meggie has trouble getting to sleep and sees a figure standing in the rain, she warns Mo. (Short for Mortimer, this is what she calls her father.) This is where her adventure begins.
She meets some rather nasty characters, some kind figures she feels as though she had known all her life, and some middling and longing people. (To be more exact some ink people.) She discovers both her father and her have an extrordinary talent beyond words ( It is literally matched with ink reality, if that makes sense,read the book, if not read this glorious story anyway.)
This heart-warming story is sure to make even book haters happy. And at the first chance you supposedly get buy this book at your local book store, I hope this review has been persuasive enough.
By the way I am dying to give out more information on this book, but I just can't if you know what I mean.
I reccomend this for ages 9-infinety, and I also recommend the sequel Inkspell (another great book)
Book Review: WOW!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh my gosh, I love this book!! I can't wait to read Inkspell ( I haven't read it yet)! If anyone likes harry potter, or other such serieses, you will like this book.
Meggie, who's father has the ability to make thing come to life from the pages of the books he reads aloud. Maggies always wondered why he won't read aloud to her. Why, is because when Meggie was a toddler, he read aloud 3 criminals in the books inkheart, taking his wife, and two cats into the story! Then, one of the criminals ( he's kinda the lowly guy that doesn't really like the main bad guy, Capricorn) comes one night to Meggie's home. He says that Capricorn is after her father, to read aloud treasure and a EVIL friend of his, the Shadow. So, they go to her aunts to hide the book ( which by the way, is a total bookworm. She calls her books her children!) and Capricorn's men sneak into there at night, and take away her father! Her aunt and Dustfinger and Meggie, edventuly go to Capricorns village and get caught. I won't tell you any more, you can read the book yourself! If you think that because the book is so thick, that you won't want to read it, your wrong! Just take a few hours a week, and sit down with this stunning tale! You won't be dispointed!!
Book Review: Inkheart
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put Inkheart down because it has so much excitement also I like some of the characters. I like the description of every chapter and how the author tells how each character feels. It has cruelty, excitement, and you don't know what will happen next. Also once you put the book down you end up thinking about what will happen next and you read it again.
Inkheart is the best book I ever read, besides Inkspell. The characters weren't described much but when I read it, I felt like I got was in the story. I stayed up half the night to read the book even though it was really late. I never really like fantasy stories until I read Dragon Rider, Inkheart, In Inkspell, and the Theif Lord. Inkheart is like a journey, once you pick up the book. My favorite characters are Farid, Basta, and Resa even though they don't get mentioned a lot in the book or the main characters.
I rate this book 10 out of 10 because it is not dull, it is exciting, also interesting, easy to read and understand, and I recommend this book to anyone who can read or loves fantasy stories. This story is described as dramatic, best, inspiring, nerve racking, awesome, and the greatest book to me.
Book Review: Very detailed, unique and great story
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great story!
This is quite the page-turner! I was driven to read more by both the action/adventure and the plot/conclusion. Both are excellently written! Funke's style of writing (and indeed the translation made by Anthea Bell) makes for a smooth and beautiful read.
Wonderfully drawn and very detailed characters fill this book from cover to cover, each character being unique and complete. The story is told from multiple viewpoints, which adds another interesting dimension to the story and plot.
The book doesn't contain many light-hearted chapters (as you would find in Harry Potter or Narnia) but the wonderful lead characters are such good people that the book is far from dark.
The whole idea of the story is beautiful and intriguing! And the quotes that begin each chapter are perfectly chosen.
I kept wondering if there were areas that Funke could have taken out to make the book shorter - but I couldn't really find anything that wouldn't mar the story in some way, and I was grateful there were as many pages to read as there were!
A wonderful read and an interesting story that I think has become a new favorite!
