I'm 15 and I thought it was good, personally the ending was disapointing. It's very entertaining and interesting, some characters are better than others but they are very good. The back of the book gives away a lot of information you wouldn't want to know if you wanted to enjoy the book to the fullest.

I read this book when I was 9, in grade four, it is an extrodinarily well written book, I loved it. As soon as I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I love the whole story, and the ending because I can re;ate to it, I'm not going to tell yuo what is it! I've read The Thief Lord and Dragon Rider as well, they are also some notables. I have recomended Inkheart to: My friends, my grandma and my mom all said they loved it very much. Inkheart is like Harry Potter so if you like it your gunna like this! Inkheart is for all ages I would say. So get reading!

The book Inkheart is simply incredible. It was like looking through a window into another world. The unexpected twists in the plot made me feel like I was walking through a maze. And I loved all the characters because they were all so very interesting. My favourite was
Dustfinger because of the air around him. Sad, distant, lonely, adventurous, and always trying to make things light. The thing I didn't like so well about the story is that I wasn't very satisfied with the ending.

But all the same, I suggest you to take your time and have a look at the world hidden beneath the covers.

For Cornelia Funke didn't just wrote a book. She had created a world.

Great!Great!Great book I got it for christmas and loved it!
Maria (12/29/04)

As a lover of all literature, (particularly fantasy) this book was truly enchanting. I enjoyed the excerpts from other books and I loved the character's personalities, although not always terribly realistic. Cornelia Funke did a fine job in creating vivid pictures. For those Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fans, watch out for the creations of this fantasy author, because I have a feeling her stories may be joining their ranks!

I think it is more for teens than the other two books are but i read it when I was 10 and loved it from the first page

Really,really amazing.The author has true talent and draws you in and enchants you as soon as the book is open.The storyline is unquine.I strongly recommend this book to ANYONE that has the chance to read it
