Inkspell
This book was magnificent. Every word seemed real. This book has bewitched me. I read all 2 books Inkheart and Inkspell. It was described very well. No other book can match this book. This book changed my life of reading. It is well like a movie once I read it. Pictured every word and characters in my mind. I think this book has to be top 1. This book also is spiked with magic and conveys death, joy , and excitement of reading.

Loved it!
I am 11 years old and when I read it I fell in love it was awesome but very dramatic it shows that even young kids can read a 600 page book. :)

Inkspell By GJoe
I thought Inkspell was one of my very favorite books I ever read! I thought it was very well described and very well written. I can't wait to read Inkdeath. I am curious if
Farid and Maggie will be able to read Dustfinger back to life. You are an awesome author. Keep on writing well Cornelia Funke!!!

wow!
Inkspell and Inkheart were the best books I have ever read. beautiful and powerful words were used. Inkheart and Inkspell were unbelievably good. The descriptive wording was beautiful. At points could almost see the Wayless woods and fell the fire elves on my arms. both the books were AWESOME and PERFECT. keep writing Cornelia!

Loved this book
I found Inkheart quite an enjoyable book and I just had to read inkspell. Instantly I got mesmerized by the book. At times it felt like I was there, like I could see what was happening. I read for hours on end. I absolutely love this book. I got so involved in it that at the end I even cried. [Spoilers removed] The way the book ended left the possibility for a sequel in my mind. I know the next book will be a success, if it does happen, and I'm sure I'll get so involved I'll cry again if something sad happens.

A MUST Read!!!
Oh my gosh!!!! This book is so bewitching! When I first saw the cover of Inkspell I told me mom "That’s the book I want!" But, sadly I my mom picked it up and said that I first had to read Inkheart since that was the first book But, they did not have it in so I had to wait. A year had passed and I still had it in the back of my mind and when one of my best friend started to read it and told me, it come back to the front of my mind. I dreamed about it and thought about all of the time, until my mom finally got it for me and then after Inkheart I read Inkspell and that day changed my life and the way I think! When I first opened the book ALL of the characters JUMPED out and shook my hand. This book is so well described that I felt every emotion. I saw the fire dance as Dustfinger spoke to it. I felt tears come to my eyes when Meggie and Mo where reunited after so long. I felt the stab in my back when Cloud-Dancer died. I was so wrapped up in this book that I almost read Inkspell for THREE days straight (if it wasn't for school!). I've seen every thing, heard everything, felt everything, and, done everything ONE book will let you do but, that's why they have sequels right. I actually thought this book to be reality once. If you have not read Inkspell yet then what are you waiting for!?!? Go get it right now!! Well if you haven't read Inkheart yet read that first. Its just as good (Dad even read it!)!

excellent
I never wanted it to end! I keep rereading parts over and over ( especially the end, it made me cry! ) Inkspell has captivated me and has made me think twice about saying what my favorite book is. I loved the romance between Farid and Meggie, because they are without a doubt the best couple in all books! I only wish that Inkdeath, or Inkdawn, or whatever the third book is called is absolutely twice as good as Inkspell and Inkheart. Harry potter has some competition!

Excellent!
OH my gosh! I loved theis sequel so much more than Inkheart. I love how she made Farid kiss Meggie. That was like, the highest point of the book for me. I'm a huge romantic, and i lovedit. I almost cried when i thought Farid was dead, but then i thought, "Wait-Cornelia Funke wouldn't make Farid die, would she?" and then she did not disappoint me but i was SO crushed that she made Dustfinger die. I absolutley cannot wait for the next book!!!!!!! Also, I loved how she did a quote from the book "Skellig" because I read that book and it is the saddest book on the face of the planet and i cried buckets when i read it! Well thanks for writing this amazing story Ms. Funke!
