The Abilities of Inkheart
To a select few, it may take a few chapters to really get involved in this story, but once you do it is a remarkable page turner! It has made a reader out of two kids in my acquaintance who I never thought would be a seventh grader and ninth grader to show the generation gaps it can bridge, and my Aunt, who is not a fan of fantasy, finished it in record time! Its sequel, Inkspell, is equally enchanting, and the audio version brings the characters to live in a way that gained the author's approval - a compliment if there ever was one!

Truly enchanting
This book is a new kind of fantasy that's never been written before. It's one of the best books I have ever read! You will love from the start and won't be able to put it down!

Inkheart comparison movie or book
I think that this was an awesome book! If you can't figure out to read the book or watch the movie read the book. I can't believe they took such a great book and turned it into something that terrible. They didn't even bother putting the best scenes or the most important scenes. The worst thing is that it wasn't in order! So don't see the movie read the book!

WOW
WOW!!! This book is GREAT! I had a great time reading it. I'm about to start reading Inkspell. I think it will turn out to be as good as Inkheart. I'm gonna see the movie but it doesn't seem like the book on previews. I love this book; I made a bet with my friends that I could read it by a certain day...I did...I stayed up all night reading it!

Two Thumbs WAY WAY UP For INKHEART!!
Inkheart is an adventure between the covers that avid bookreaders like myself can easily get caught up in. My favorite character is Mo Folchart he's funny and he is a character many people could associate with. Along with Inkheart I've read Inkspell and Inkdeath and both are amazing continuations of the story!! BRAVO!!

it is amazing
This has to be the best book I have ever read. I love how it talks about all the characters and just by reading the story they will seem like your best friend that you have known from birth. It gives great detail like you are there in the book. You always wonder what will happen next, so you just want to keep reading and reading. If you love adventure than this is the book for you

InkHeart Review
This was a great book I would recommend it to any book lover! I used to hate reading but when i was in the 3rd grade I took Inkheart out of my brother's room (don't ask why I took it out of my brother's room when I hated reading) - well it took me 4 or 5 months to finish ( I was a 3rd grader ) but now you never see me without a book!
