Have you ever felt as if a book is so good that you it feels real? Well, that's Meg's life, especially when she discovers the secret that her father, Mo has been hiding from her for years. He can read characters out of books. Characters like Basta and Capricorn whose main pastime isn't reading-it's killing. Mo's tried to bury his past. But now it's all coming back....


The book's intricate plot is superb and captivating. It will hold many a reader's interest. Meg is likeable and the supporting characters are believeable.

Meggie is a girl who lives with her dad, Mo, who repairs books. He also makes books come to life when he reades them, literally. Soon, she finds herself in her own fairytale, and in every fairytale, there is a villain, and in this case, it's Capricorn. Meggie will have to use the skill that brought Capricorn into this world, to make him dissapear once again.

I loved reading this book! I could just imagine myself in Meggie's shoes. I really felt like i was in the story! Whenever I think about this book, I remember all of the adventures I had reading it. I just really loved the story. This is one of those books I will always remember.

Always look behind the pages of a book and do not dare to read out loud....

Mortimer is a bookbinder and has passed on his great love of books to his daughter Meggie, but he has never read aloud to her. When a stranger named Dustfinger appears at their home, Meggie's world turns upside down. She soon learns some startling truths --- about her mother's disappearance nine years earlier, and the mysterious book called INKHEART that her father tries desperately to hide at the book-filled home of Elinor, Meggie's great aunt. She learns that the reason Mo has never read aloud to her is because he has a secret, mysterious, dangerous gift --- when he reads aloud, objects and charaters come out of the books --- a skill he discovered when Capricorn, the dark villain of INKHEART, came into the world when Meggie was three. Teresa, Meggie's mother, disappeared at the same time, presumably into the story.

Capricorn uses Dustfinger, who is another character from the story, to lure Mo and Meggie to his hideout village; there Meggie sees a demonstration of her father's reading skill when he brings gold treasure out of TREASURE ISLAND and a young Arab boy out of the ARABIAN NIGHTS. When Dustfinger learns Capricorn's true plans, he helps Mo, Meggie, and Elinor escape over the hills. Mo searches out Fenoglio, the author of the book, and together they devise a plan to foil Capricorn's terrible schemes. But Meggie is recaptured along with Fenoglio, and Capricorn discovers that she, too, has the same magical gift. In a rousing finish, Fenoglio and Meggie find a way to foil Capricorn's plans --- with surprising results.

This is a wonderful book to read I promise you will not even think about stop reading this book!

Inkheart is an unusual, but wonderful book. It`s about a girl and her father. When they read aloud, the characters come to life!Unfortunatly, a lot of bad guys get out of it too. It`s hard to explain, but if you read it I know you`ll love it!

INKHEART,BY CORNELIA FUNKE.

This is a book of gripping and breathtaking, unique possibilities to the world. It is a book suffering of intense love, betrayal, trust and evil. This book is fantasy. Once you step out of our world and into Cornelia Funke's mind you are trapped and bound by the enchanting magnificence of it's outstanding beauty, and once you begin you are captured til the last page is sweetly drunk and finished. The power to read, write and imagine is clearly and creativly sampled here. The art that this book is discovered with is uncoweringly brilliant and once read and graved in memory, it is another piece to last forever.

"Inkheart" is a wonderful story. I found myself falling in love with the characters. They each have their own personalities and are consistent with them. It kept me guessing and I didn't want to quit reading until I was finished. I have read it twice and still love it. Now I have the sequel, "Inkspell", and am about to start reading it.

Meggie lives with her father, Mo, who repairs and restores old books. They both love to read. What Meggie doesn't know is that Mo has a special ability to read characters out of books when he reads aloud, but with a catch-for every thing coming out of a book, something in this world goes in. This is why he never reads outloud to her. He always told her that her mother went away, but she was actually read into a book he was reading to them when Meggie was a baby. He read a "fire-eater" named Dustfinger; the bad guy of the story, Capricorn; and a few of his men also out of the book. Now both Dustfinger and Capricorn are after him and the book, but for different reasons. Dustfinger wants to go back to his world. Capricorn wants him to read a friend out. Capricon finds Mo and tries to threaten him to read out of the book while Dustinger acts as a double-agent between them.

P.S.-If you didn't already know, this book is going to be a movie, so you had better read the book first!
