Read it, Rate it, Review It

One night Meggie's father, Mo, reads aloud from a book called Inkheart, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books.

Excerpt:
"You were just three years old, Meggie," Mo began. "I remember how we celebrated your birthday. We gave you a picture book — you know, the one about the sea serpent with a toothache winding itself around the lighthouse. . . "

I loved it!!! It was very exciting and I couldn't put it down! It's a very original idea and that's why I think it's such a good book.
Bailey H., Age 13

It's one of a kind and when I was reading it I felt as though I was watching what was going on from a distance but still part of the story. I loved it. The story is so original that anyone will love it. Inkheart is amazing.
Carly R., Age 15

I loved this book it had every thing a good adventure book should have. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I would love to see a sequel
Cayla T., Age 14

Inkheart is an amazing book. Each character had their own personality that you could picture vividly in your mind. I felt the characters come to life.
Lucy D., Age 13

Inkheart is my absolute favorite book. I love how Funke created Dustfinger to be such a half-good, half-bad character. Dragon Rider and The Thief Lord are awesome as well!
Jessica K., Age 15

Inkheart is a book that made me feel very excited when I read it. I never wanted to put the great book down. The characters in this book have an exciting story. The book Inkheart was very suspenseful, in some places funny and it was also fun to read. I used to not like reading so much but when the librarian of my school suggested Inkheart I thought I would try it. Now I love to read and I have read almost every one of Cornelia Funke's books.

This book was stunning! I loved reading The Thief Lord, and when I saw that she and another book out I read it instantly. Everything about this wonderful story kept me reading for hours on end. I can't wait to read Inkspell.
Michael L. Age 15

Inkheart was an awesome book. I couldn't stop turning the pages. This book has very interesting characters, like Pippo and Capricorn. I love this book because it is magical.
Caroline D. Age 10

It was such a great book one of the kinds of a bit of adventure and a bit of romance too it's just great. It was very touching to me. Cornelia Funke has outdone herself.
Christine N. Age 11

Inkheart is one of my favorite books! I enjoyed how all of the characters are not good and nice. There is just as much bad as there is good in this book. I enjoyed that balance.
Allison G. Age 12

I thought it was a great story and the thoughts of the characters were very realistic it was also very original

Inkheart is the greatest book I've ever read and I've read a lot of books and a lot of them I didn't like because I'm very picky but I couldn't put Inkeart down. I love it.
Jessica A. Age 13

I loved Inkheart!!! It was one of the best books I have ever read. I loved the plot and the secrecy of the characters. Cornelia Funke has become one of my favorite authors easily. I just finished The Thief Lord and am about to start Dragon Rider. I cant wait for her to come out with another book!!!
Taylor M, 11

It is a really cool book because it is a mixture of fantasy and real life. IT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!! My favorite character is Maggie. She loves reading just like me!! Did I mention that this book TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!
Courtney L. Age 11

This book was like way cool it was filled with fantasy, magic, and everything else. Every sentence makes you think, is there like real people inside a book and can you really read out people from books? I got my copy of Inkheart at the school book fair and read that back and just knew that it was the book for me! And I was right, Inkheart is one of the best books I have ever read!!!!!!!!!
Alex R, 13

I loved Inkheart. My teacher read it to my class and I never wanted it to end! My favorite character was Eleanor because she was so funny. If you haven't read this book, read it now! It's so well written I wish I was Maggie!
Tori P. Age 12

It was time for a book report, we had to read fantasy or sci-fi, well sci-fi isn't my thing so I chose fantasy. I had trouble finding a way out there fiction/fantasy book. But then my friend told me about this book and so I started to read in the first couple pages I had already made my decision on what I thought...IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! I love this book and if you're into fantasy and want a good pleasure book to read, this is it!
Alexis M. Age 13

I loved this book it was amazing it really makes you think...is there really a life inside the book? My favorite character was Dustfinger, and his way with fire. I just loved Dustfinger.
Chii C. Age 14

I loved this book. I could not stop reading it. It is so full of imagination. It was great!!
Kirsti C. Age 16

Even though it was very long, it was worth it! The book is awesome. It was so good, I am planning to read Cornelia Funke's The Thief Lord as soon as I get my hands on it.
Cassie M. Age 10

This book is absolutely wonderful! My friend Catherine told me about it! I've only read one Cornelia Funke book, but if they are all like INKHEART, then they must be GREAT!
Lilai T., Age 12

I thought this book was very interesting. Once you picked it up you wouldn't want to put it down. I loved the cover and I think Cornelia is the best author ever.
Addy M., 12

Inkheart is the best book I've ever read in my entire life, and that's saying a lot because I'm really picky about what I read. There are only a handful of books that I like. Inkheart was superbly written and had a very interesting plot.
Eric C., Age 14

I'd have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read! When I saw it at the bookstore, I just knew it would be interesting and exciting! The front cover just looks so intriguing. One thing that I really liked about the characters is their passion for books, and the way Mo describes them to Meggies is just so incredible! Thanks 4 writing this book Cornelia!!
Gabi C. Age 13

One of the best books I have ever read. The villains in the book were amazing. Basta was the coolest villain. It is even good enough to make a movie out of.
Emily F. Age 11

This book is the best book that I have ever read. It is so good that you can not even put it down; you have to read this book.
Rebecca M., 13

This is an awesome book. It's full of twists and turns that make read on and on and on.
Wendy M. Age 13

This is a really good book up to the last few chapters. The ending could have been much better, but my four very favorite books have endings that aren't very good, so I can live with that. Overall — a really good book.
Lillian A. Age 11

Inkheart was a magnificent book. A very original idea and the characters were the best. Cornelia Funke makes it so easy to picture them, especially Dustfinger. Her writing style seems to actually bring the story alive.
Gloria D. Age 13

I thought that Inkheart was a very good book. The only thing that I didnt like about the book was the ending. I felt that it ended almost abruptly, but other that that, it was great. I couldn't put the book down one day!
Kathryn R. Age 14

I think it the best! It grabbed my attention! The characters and the plots are witty! I think that putting a caption from another story on each chapter was brilliant!
Joanna H. Age 11

Inkheart is a magical book filled with excitement and suspense. The characters are so real, they bring truthfulness and love into the rich plot.
Jesse T. Age 10

This book was wonderful! I always wondered what would happen if villains
came out of books.
Saba B. Age 11

I thought Inkheart was very interesting and full of magic and fantasy. It is one of my favorite novels. It is absolutely fantastic!
Domenic P. Age 14

I think that Inkheart is a fantastic book, and that it would be really cool if you could read things out of books!
Tatiana T. Age 10

Inkheart is a brilliant fantasy book that cannot be put down. I loved every bit of it. It was filled with adventure, which kept you hooked. It was an original and exciting story. FANTASTIC!
