i really liked this book, it wasnt as good as the thief lord but it was still brilliant. dustfinger was the best character, he was really lifelike and 3d please please please PLEASE bring out the sequel soon

This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. Cornilea Funke is one of the most inspired authors. I have read both Inkheart and The Thief Lord, and I am currently reading Dragon Rider. Though I cannot sympathize with Meggie, for I do not think that her character is portrayed deeply enough, I find the other characters to be moving. I loved Dustfinger. Though he seems like the bad character at one point, I do like him. Mo is a good character and a great father, I didn't get into him that much. Elinor was a strong character, who shared the same a passion as I did. Books. Cornelia Funke did a wonderful job of creating a new idea.-A book inside a book- It was also brilliant to have Basta be superstious. Fabulous idea.Capircorn.I loved to hate him.He is the kind of character you want to pin a picture of to your dart board and throw darts at. It's a great story, and I encourage every person that has the chance to read this story, to do so.

This is a great book! I recommend it to everyone, even if you're not a fantasy fan. This is one of those books that you could read over and over without ever getting bored. Cornelia Funke is an excellent author! It has a wonderful beginning and keeps you hooked all the way through. I couldn't even go to sleep until I finished reading the whole book. Definately one of my favorite books ever.
