Wow!
I loved this book! It's deffinetly my kind of book fantasy! I love to read! I'm going in to 6th grade and have a reading level of someone who is out of school! [collage level] I couldn't put it down. I read the book in three days and I'm now working on Inkspell! I have a "treasure box" like Meggie with all of my favorite books in it and Inkheart and Inkspell are bothin in there. My next book will be Dragon Rider! Meggie is my favorite charater because from what the book decribes her to look like is what I look like....also because she was so brave. I have always loved books and entered many read-aloud -contests and won. I've always wished I could read charachers out of books like Meggie even before I read Inkheart! So, anyway I loved this book!

i <3 inkheart!
Personally, I really don't 'like' reading. For school ovr the summer we had to pick a fantasy book and i went to the library looking for the shortest book possible. i knew that a lot of ppl had reccommended (gosh thts hard to spell!) it to me and have said it is great, but it was 534 pages! u have got to be kidding me! i couldn't find n e othr gd book so i picked it up, read the inside and basically fell in love with it. it just kept getting better. i read 40 pages each day even though i am busy and now i have to write a persuasive essay on it. the only trouble is i am having a little bit of trouble figuring out 3 reasons for y i should reccomend it. i have action packed and suspenseful and i am thinking of using imaginative but who knows!!!!! well yeah thts my story!

inkheart
i abosolutely LOVED inkheart. my fave character is dustfinger as he (in my opinion) had the most awesome attitude in he world...as it is kind of my attitude *grins sheepishly*.

anyway. cornelia funke is a great writer, but i was bawling my eyes out when i read the ending of inkspell.

I recommend it to ppl ova 10 yrs old and give it 10/10

GAAAAAH!
Inkheart is the best book I have ever read. I will repeat Inkheart is the best book I have ever read. Now I will move on, this masterpeice of a book is peiced together in a very poetic way. Hehe, I wish I could be read into it. I have read it seven going on eight times and each time it has been the best book I have ever read. The characters are fantastic! My favorite by a looooooooooong shot is Dustfinger, friend of fire. He is my life! If there's one thing you should do before you die, it's read Inkheart. I am soooo crazy about this book. Corneilia Funke uses awesome simlies to express how the characters are feeling and the main plot of the book is so phenominal. This book about books will be a great book for any book lover! Especially me!
