This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. Cornilea Funke is one of the most inspired authors. I have read both Inkheart and The Thief Lord, and I am currently reading Dragon Rider. Though I cannot sympathize with Meggie, for I do not think that her character is portrayed deeply enough, I find the other characters to be moving. I loved Dustfinger. Though he seems like the bad character at one point, I do like him. Mo is a good character and a great father, I didn't get into him that much. Elinor was a strong character, who shared the same a passion as I did. Books. Cornelia Funke did a wonderful job of creating a new idea.-A book inside a book- It was also brilliant to have Basta be superstious. Fabulous idea.Capircorn.I loved to hate him.He is the kind of character you want to pin a picture of to your dart board and throw darts at. It's a great story, and I encourage every person that has the chance to read this story, to do so.

This is a great book! I recommend it to everyone, even if you're not a fantasy fan. This is one of those books that you could read over and over without ever getting bored. Cornelia Funke is an excellent author! It has a wonderful beginning and keeps you hooked all the way through. I couldn't even go to sleep until I finished reading the whole book. Definately one of my favorite books ever.
