Book Review:  <-BACK

I read Inkheart last month and it was great. It is about a girl (Meggie Flockhart) and her Father (Mortimer Flockhart) who live on books. There is a certain time when a book got him back, for Mo's ability allowed his wife to vanish. This ability is the ability to read things in and out of books. A person with this skill is known as a Silvertounge. While reading a book called Inkheart, Mo accidently read out three villains of the book. Basta, Dustfinger, and Capricorn. In exchange, Resa was sent into the book, and Basta and Capricorn ran off. Dustfinger showed fear to Mo and wished to help him. Later, Dustfinger showed up again telling Mo of Capricorn. The group goes to a woman named Elinor to hide Inkheart. Capricorn shows up with men and begin to tear apart the house looking for the book, and eventually, capture Mo, Meggie, and Elinor. Dustfinger, however, turned his back on Mo and called Capricorn here. They are brought to Capricorn's Castle, and are thrown into a cellar. I will save the rest of the book for you...

I rate this book 4/5. It is a simply amazing story, and Cornelia Funke is a great writer, but some parts of the book could tend to get a bit boring. I do recommend it, though.
