Inkheart
I read this book when I was in sixth grade and it was the worst book I have ever read. Besides being a boring read, the book expressed devil-worshiping and much violence. The 'evil' character portrayed in this book is violent and hateful, not at all what a sixth grader should be reading. I would not recommend this book to a sixth grader, as I was, but to a mature young adult who knows the rights and wrongs of this book.

Excellent Read!
An excellent read.I bought it to read to my daughter and ended up staying up until the wee hours to finish it myself!

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!

Move along.
I am in utter annoyance with this book.
I found it so amazingly boring I am half way through it and feel bad about writing this after doing some research on the author, she seems like a very nice lady.
As a child I learned to like books because they were filled with a story of some interest to me.
I am afraid inkheart has failed.
You can't keep children interested if there is nothing happening.
She's way to slow, maybe the movie will be better.

Very Good
I love this book and can't wait to to see the movie. I think it is very good and people should read it (if you like fiction and adventure).

Wow!!!!!!!
Once I picked up this book, I instantly fell in love with it. The characters are amazing and i am now reading the sequel.

Entertaining.
This story-within-a-story is sure to catch many readers' attention. Enter the world of Meggie, a twelve year old girl who is the daughter of Mo, a book-binder who can read characters out of books, join them as they try to battle the evil villain from the book, and get Meggies mother back to them. A definite curl-up under the covers read.

I LOVED this book!!!
This is an amazing book! Cornelia Funke is one of my favorite authors and that's saying a lot 'cause I've read A LOT of books.
