Book Reviews of Inkheart (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: A Fantastic Read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned Inkheart for awhile and have put off reading it for other books that I have. Boy, was that a mistake! I finally decided to read it and I loved it!
The story is about a girl named Meggie who loves books. Her father, Mo, loves books as well. Their house is filled with them. Even though they both read to themselves, Meggie noticed her father has never read out loud to her. One night a dark stranger appears at their house. From there the book just keeps on going. There is so much more to the book. I don't want to create any spoilers for those who have not read it though. The main part of this story is that Meggie finds out her Dad can read people and objects right out of any book. The catch is that something from this world must replace what he reads out of the other world. Meggie father realized that this might just be as much of a curse as it is a gift.
The book was fast paced and an enjoyable read. My favorite part about it is the way Meggie, her father and her great aunt all have such a love and respect of books. That reminds me so much of me that I fell in love with the book from the beginning. I highly recommed this book!
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently read the book "Inkheart". This was my favorite book of all time. This is an awesome book for people who like fantasy and magic!
It is about a young girl named Meggie and her father, Mo, who can read things out of books. Her father first discovered his powers when Meggie was three. He was reading to her and her mother when her mother, Teresa, was read into the book! The book he was reading was called Inkheart. So when her mother was read into the book, evil rulers were read out. So our world and the world of Inkheart became one and started their own story.
One of my favorite chapters in the book was chapter 56, "The Shadow." It's when the shadow beast from the land of Inkheart is called to do a deed for Capricorn, one of the evil rulers read out of the book. It really pulls the whole book together and explains a lot.
The theme of this book is that no matter what book you are reading, there is always a bigger story behind it. So join Meggie along her journey to control her gift as she tells the story of the land of Inkheart.

Book Review: Sucks you in
Summary: 5 Stars
A lot of teenage girls are claiming that the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer "sucked them in from the first page". Funny, because Twilight didn't work for me (but that is neither here nor there)...but Inkheart did.
As a lover of books since before I could even read properly, I love the attention to details and description that Funke puts into this novel, and the shout-outs to classics (such as Meggie and Mo using Elvish writing from The Lord of the Rings, my favorite book). I couldn't begin to explain why, but the style captured my attention from page one and I found myself engrossed in the Inkworld. The plot is both fascinating and innovative: what if you could read a character out of a book, and go into it yourself? I've often wanted to meet my favorite characters, but Funke put a great spin on it by also having the villain of the piece come into our world as well as the protagonist and exploring the darker side of this wonderful idea.
I remain, however, unsure about the movie - but I'll give it a chance, anyway. It's the least I can do.
Book Review: Inkheart - from reading to reality
Summary: 5 Stars
What if you could read the characters in your favorite books to life? This is the premise of Inkheart...but with a twist. We've all wished we could bury our faces in the warmth of Aslan's mane or have Merlyn as a teacher...but we don't usually stop to think how Aslan or Merlyn would feel about the world we live in, full of speeding cars and jarring cell phones, or how they might affect our world.
In Inkheart, young Meggie learns that her father Mo accidentally read several characters out of books and into life, plucking them from their pages and setting them loose in our modern world. Some are sad and lost and longing to return home, while others are evil and dangerous and can't be allowed to stay. The story is dark and complex, full of danger and adventure and unexpected turns. But if you're a bibliophile, its libraries, book-binders, storytellers and literature references will draw you in until you find yourself stroking the book's spine as your mouth forms its words...
Book Review: This book was rockin' AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
Inkspell, the second book in a series that Cornelia Funke hasn't finished is a great book in which Meggie and her friends set out on a journey. Dustfinger has gone back to the woven world of Inkheart. Meggie and Fraid read themselves into the book and go after Dustfinger to give him a warning. Basta has traveled into Inkheart as well and is as evil as ever.
Elinor and Darius are trapped in Elinors house and pray every day that Meggie is okay. Meanwhile Mo is getting shot and Resa has found her voice. Dustfinger is once again at home and has no idea of the danger following him. can the reign of an evil king, the Adderhead, ruin Dustfingers happiness?
I loved this book and I think that anyone who has read the first book in Cornelia Funke's series will like this book. Anyone who likes adventure, mystery, and romance would find this book great. Inkspell is a very well written story and I loved it.
