Book Reviews of Inkheart (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: I got hooked as soon as I read the first page
Summary: 5 Stars
Inkheart is a magically thrilling book. Cornelia really outdid herself by writing this book. I loved the way she incorporated fantasy in it but did not cross the line and make it way out of porportion. Meggie, a lover of books peers out of her window one night and sees a man in the rain staring in at her by her and Mo's (dad) garden. When Mo lets him in it's almost like they are old aqaintenses but Meggie has a bad feeling about the stranger. After that night her father wakes her up early in the morning and says that they have to go away for awhile to tend her ant's books. (he is a book binder) But when they start to pull out of the drivway the stranger appears in front of their car. This book is like no other that i have ever read and I strongly advise you to read this book and the sequel Inkspell that goes with it. Trust me, your going to love the ride you take when you read Inkheart.Book Review: Inkheart: The power of the written word
Summary: 4 Stars
Inkheart is a fantasy book written by Cornelia Funke. Meggie and her father Mortimer (Mo) are trying to escape from Capricorn. Capricorn is an evil man who has been read out of a book into real life by Mo many years ago. Capricorn wants a book that Mo owns and he wants Mo to read a powerful and evil friend out of the book, Inkheart. In this book good overcomes evil not by power or strength of an army but by words and the strength of their meaning.
I liked this book because it was a fantasy. The story line was a new idea to me--the story of someone who can read characters out of books! What a great idea! Even though it is a fantasy, it is realistic in many ways--people drive cars, it occurs in present day, there are police, schools and no talking animals. This book does contain some curse words so parents should read it before their children.
Book Review: Bravo
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the most inspiried, orginial books I have ever read. Most of the fantasy books today have slumped off other works by other authors. Cornelia Funke puts a stop to this in her new world of Inkheart...
Meggie is absolutely crazy about books and her father is a book doctor. One night Meggie notices a stranger outside her house that soon is welcomed by Meggie's father and called Dustfinger. Meggie's father, Mo, keeps her stationed at her bed as he talks to his "old friend", but Meggie can't resist eaves dropping on her father...Soon after Meggie finds herself going through a fantasy adventure filled to the rim with villians, but being a hero isn't as easy as reading about one.....
Cornelia Funke has created a new world for the bored fantasy reader who just can't find an orginial!
Book Review: A Cant Put Down Book
Summary: 5 Stars
My Opinion
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book! But it is a heart-warming book if you forget about the evil Capricorn!!! It's a crazy thrilling book because Capricorn was trying to capture Meggie and use her as bait so Mo will come to her rescue and Capricorn can capture him. But then Capricorn realizes that Meggie can read the book and bring things to life also. Obviously Capricorn can not read it and bring this to life. So he has Meggie already. But he forgot that Mo was still coming to her rescue. I'm going to stop giving away the story so you can read it yourself. This book will get you hooked you won't want to put it down once you pick it up!! So go to your local book store and/or library and pick up this book I guarantee you will love it, I know I did!
Book Review: Not much of an entertaining read
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the book and found the story unique (the first I read about people reading characters ot of books). However, the more I read the less I started to care about it. It seemed to be an never ending story about the characters escaping and then getting caught again. It was frustrating and made me like the characters a little less. Dustfinger was not likeable at all and Mo was way too innoncent and trusting for his own good. I liked Meggie by the end she went from being brat to maturing at the end. My favorite character was Eliane she seemed the one with the most sense and personality, but seemed to suffer unfortunate circumstances. Overall, I liked the book, but I don't think I can ever read it again like I do with my favorite books. I think is entertaining story for the moment, but can easily be forgotten.
