A heart warming tale
This book shows the authors skill of weaving magic around readers heart with awe-inspiring characters and memorable scenes that no reader will soon forget.
Inkheart is a wonderful tale that proves that simple words can be the passage to a brand new adventure filled with dancing flames, witty characters, mysterious plots and giggling romance. A must read for all.

Only the best book ever
Inkheart is one of the hundred books I read but I would give up all of those books just to keep Inkheart. In Inkheart you can relate to many of the characters. This is one of those books you just can't put down. It has mystery, action, adventure and more all rolled into one!!! Inkheart is a definite must-read.

Inkheart By Cornelia Funke
Imagine a world within the pages of a book. Imagine blue fairies, a world with men made of glass, a world where women have no rights. Imagine a man who can make flowers out of fire, who can speak to the fire and command it. Imagine that words come to life, stories become real, and someone with a powerful voice saying the right words can talk you right into that world.

One dark night Mo, Meggie's father reads Capricorn, a dark villain out of Inkheart. Meggie and her dad are faced in a long journey through odds and ends, nooks and crannies to find the book and read the book in a way so that Capricorn is destroyed forever!!! Do they make it? what happens to the friends they meet along the way? To find out , read this book!!I would rate this book a 5 thumbs up :) !!!! Have a fun reading!!!
yours Sincerely,
"Bookworm" as my friends call me...:)

Loved It
I rarely find books I just can't put down, but this one was different. I had to pick a Fantasy book for my book report so I just chose Inkheart. I figured I wouldn't like , but it was probably one of the best books I've ever read!
