I think the author does a very good job at character discriptions. This goes for all 3 Inkheart books.

I really liked this one, but not the rest of the series. I really want the power to read things out of books like Meggie and Mo.

Meggie! A sweet, Kind girl, who needs answers from her father. He won’t tell his daughter what he is looking for, and when he does find it, he won’t tell her what it is, and it gets Meggie and Moe, her dad, into a heep of trouble. Will they be able to rescue Meggie’s mother, and rescue themselves before it’s too late?

this story is about a guy who, when he reads books the characters in the story come out of the book and somebody from the real world goes in. Unfortunatly, he reads a story to his wife who goes in the book and dosen't come back out. FYI:there is more books after this one!

Twelve-year-old Meggie lives a near-perfect life with her bookbinder father, Mo. Meggie’s mother disappeared years ago, but Meggie and Mo have coped by indulging in a mutual love of books. This calm and comfortable lifestyle is suddenly threatened one dark and stormy night. A stranger, calling himself Dustfinger, shows up to consult with Mo and, to put it frankly, scares the beejeezus out of Meggie. There’s more disturbing news when she realizes her father has been keeping a pretty big secret: Mo has the power to read books to life. When Meggie’s mild-mannered father reads out loud, the characters come leaping off the pages and into real life. An ill-fated reading nine years ago from a book called Inkheart created a villain named Capricorn, who wants his copy back from Mo and will stop at nothing to keep from being read back into fiction. It’s an imaginative, complex blend of fantasy that’s worthy of the dramatic clash between Muggles and magic in Harry Potter, especially with multilayered characters like tragic Dustfinger, creepy-cruel Capricorn, and intrepid Meggie, our young heroine who has a few tricks of her own tricks up her sleeves. This is a book about books in the best sense, with a mysteriously cozy atmosphere, lots of literary references, and fantasy galore. Getting lost (literally!) in a book has never been so magical.

Inkheart was interesting and very hooking. I loved the ending. It is also a kind of sad but hopeful type of book. I really, really, liked it. Meggie is brave, smart and quick-witted. I also like Teresa. It was cool how Mo (silvertounge) could read things out of books! I am now reading Inkspell, the sequel. I can't wait for Inkdeath, the last book!

i must be the only one on this list so far that didn’t like it. it was boring, i couldn’t get through the first five chapters. i couldn’t figure out the time period which really ticked me off, and i couldn’t follow the character’s feelings or the storyline half the time. ppl keep saying it’s ausome. maybe if i tried it now it would be different, but i’m not sure i want to.

i liked the book inkheart because it just pulls you into the book you feel like you are just standing there watching the story fall into place or you feel like one of the charectures especially Meggie. Inkheart is an exciting thriller sad at some points and happy at others. one other thing i like about at the begining of each chapter there is a fun qoute from older books.This book may look big but it goes by really fast because its so great!!!!

Inkheart is a very wonderful book. It is about a girl and her father. The father is hiding something, but it is too late. I don't want to give the story away, so you will just have to find out yourself. It is very suspenseful and a wonderful book to read if you like fantasy or fiction books. If you read it, you will find the inkheart!

This book was a very exciting and well written book. This book is about a girl named Meg, whose father is a widower and is a talented book binder; but has a very special talent&he can read characters, money, animals, well anything out of books! Now when an evil character kidnaps Meg's father she is the only one who can rescue him. When Meg learns about what happened to her mother and what she is capable of doing, she must get out of where she is and go home. This book, is a book that you can never put down, I read it till 2:30 A.M. on a school night because I could not put it down! You have to read this book, and see what I mean when I say that it is the best book ever!

posted Jul 26, 2005

This book was the BEST!!! I couldn't stop reading it once I started it. Unlike many books, the adventure begins in the first chapter! Inkhear is about a girl named Meggie who lives with her father. When Meggie was very little, her mother suddenly dissapears into a book, while three other people end up coming OUT of the book. That is when everything starts. She always has to move, but doesn't know why! Finally, when she is 12 years old, she gets a strange visitor at her house. Things keep getting worse for her after the strange visitor, and after many horrible things happen to her and her father, you would think nothing could possibly happen worse. But things do get worse! Meggie has to do the unthinkable!!! I won't tell you anything else, or it will ruin the book. Inkheart is now my favorite book, and will probably be yours once you pick it up and read it!

This is one of the best books I've ever read, i couldn't put it down. It's a fantasy story about a girl and her father who can read things(including people) out of books. Her father accidently reads a villain named Capricorn out of a book when she's a child, and her mother goes into the book. It's a great story, i recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy stories.

This is one of my favorite books! Imagine if the characters that you read about in books could come alive, and leave their story? Well this is the adventure that Meggie has been brought into. One night her father Mo, reads aloud from Inkheart, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and the lands of their own living room. Somehow, Meggie and Mo must learn to harness the magic that conjoured this nightmare. Somehow they must change the course of the story that has changed their lives forever.
