Some books are destined to be lifelong treasured possessions. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, the bestselling German author of The Thief Lord, could easily lay claim to being such a book. It is a meaty, magical adventure that oozes a passion for books and the awesome power of words on a page, written by an author who clearly adores stories. Every chapter is introduced by tempting quotations from classic novels that whet your appetite for more and help underline the terrific heritage of children's literature that Inkheart is added to.

Meggie is the daughter of a revered bookbinder called Mo whose peaceful existence is one night shattered by the arrival of Dustfinger--a shadowy man with a mysterious link to Mo's past. Mo and Meggie are soon on the move, running from something that threatens everything they hold dear. But the past inevitably catches up with them and Mo is forced to reveal to his daughter for the first time his terrible secret. He has the ability, or curse, to breathe life into any story he reads and make the characters come alive. Just such a character, the sinister Capricorn, is after Mo to ensure that he stays alive and is never returned to the pages from which he was sprung. And, of course, he'll stop at nothing to guarantee success.

Inkheart is a treat and echoes of its many colourful characters, nail-biting drama and unrelenting invention will stay with the reader for a long time. It's also a novel for people who really love books. (Recommended for ages 10 and over.) --John McLay



From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8-Characters from books literally leap off the page in this engrossing fantasy. Meggie, 12, has had her father to herself since her mother went away when she was young. Mo taught her to read when she was five, and the two share a mutual love of books. Things change after a visit from a scarred man who calls himself Dustfinger and who refers to Mo as Silvertongue. Meggie learns that her father has been keeping secrets. He can "read" characters out of books. When she was three, he read aloud from a book called Inkheart and released Dustfinger and other characters into the real world. At the same time, Meggie's mother disappeared into the story. Mo also released Capricorn, a sadistic villain who takes great pleasure in murdering people. He has sent his black-coated henchmen to track down Mo and intends to force him to read an immortal monster out of the story to get rid of his enemies. Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and Meggie's great-aunt Elinor are pursued, repeatedly captured, but manage to escape from Capricorn's henchmen as they attempt to find the author of Inkheart in the hope that he can write a new ending to the story. This "story within a story" will delight not just fantasy fans, but all readers who like an exciting plot with larger-than-life characters. Pair this title with Roderick Townley's The Great Good Thing (2001) and Into the Labyrinth (2002, both Atheneum) for a wonderful exploration of worlds within words.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Impressions of Inkheart, Oct. 7 2007
This review is from: Inkheart (Paperback)
One rainy night, twelve year old Meggie's life changed forever when a stranger showed up at her door. She finds out that her father, Mo, when reading aloud can bring to life beings and objects. This revelation begins the wonderful adventure which is Inkheart. In its 534 pages, Meggie and her father must do their best to safe keep a book from the evil ruler Capricorn. To succeed, Meggie must also learn to master her own powers in order to right the wrongs that have been made. Their journey is difficult and filled with adventure.

When I read Inkheart, I was blown away by its creative and thrilling tale of good versus evil. I found Mo's talent fascinating and to learn that Meggie was to learn it also (as it says on the back of the book), I was absolutely intrigued. Meggie and her father are both very much alike. They are courageous, determined, and wise characters, and they would do anything to save each other. Although the theme "good vs. evil" has been done many times before, the author wrote about it in an extremely creative and suspenseful way.

Inkheart is all about books, their magic, and their importance to people. I really loved it because I adore books and understood the importance of books to Meggie and Mo. "Meggie took her books whenever she went away. They were her home when she was somewhere strange. They were familiar voices, friends that never quarreled with her, clever, powerful friends --daring and knowledgeable, tried and tested adventures who had traveled far and wide. Her books cheered her up when she was sad and kept her from being bored..." I love to read because it lets you leave the world and reality to explore a different dimension and live a different life. Books really let you experience things you can't face in your real life and it takes you away from problems you don't want to think about.

The message in the book was that books hold more power than we think.
Inkheart exceeded my expectations and was by far one of the most suspenseful and all around one of the best books I have ever read. I strongly recommend you to read this book. In fact, I dare you to read it aloud!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not a kid's book!, Oct. 23 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: Inkheart (Hardcover)
The heroine of this story may be a young adult, but this book isn't about her. This books is about the amazing idea that character's from books can come to life and it isn't always a good thing. Having read all 3 books by Jasper Fforde, who uses the brilliant idea of real people entering works of fiction and potentially changing the entire book - and absolutely loving his books, Inkheart's twist intrigued me.

This is a dark and suspenseful story, which definitely keeps the reader guessing. It isn't the type of book that has really been written before, or if it is? I haven't seen it, but I would certainly love to read more books like this. The only flaw that I can see about the book? Is that the Author didn't write the book Inkheart first and then write this books as a sequel to it. That is probably more Jasper Fforde's forte though, but I would have loved to read the "real" Inkheart before reading about the character's entering this world and creating mayhem and committing murder. I loved this book, and I would never have predicted the entire ending... that is a very good thing as too often books are neatly tied up for the Happy Ending.

Read this book and enjoy it. If you have not read the "Theif Lord" read that one as well. Cornelia Funke is a very talented writer and she isn't trying to be the next J.K. Rowling or Tolkien. She hasn't created an alternate fantasy world to enter, she has written about our world where surprising things can happen.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Pretty Good....but not Amazing, Jui 29 2006
This review is from: Inkheart (Hardcover)
Cornelia Funke, i have to say, is a pretty good writer. However, the one thing i absolutely can't stand about her writing is that it is sometimes too descriptive. She always has to describe things in full detail. This is what makes her books somewhat boring.
This is all in Inkheart, her overpowering descriptions, but they are not as powerful, and makes her wrinting a little softer and easier to read. Howevewr, there is somewhat of a thing in ths book. It is all so repetitive!! they escaped, then got caught, they escaped again!!!then got caught again...THEY ESCAPED AGAIN!then got caught. this is basically all that happens the whole novel. However, I still like this book, becasue there is some added ideas, but mostly, this is what happens.
anyways, beyond this point, this novel is about a read-a-holic named Meggie, who lives with her father Mo. However, Mo has a secret that he has kept from Meggie ever since she was three: he can read characters out of books. One of the characters Mo read out plenty of years ago shows up at his door, one rainy night, and the story gets better from here. Although boring in many parts, it is still a pretty good fantasy novel.
I dont think you should buy this novel in hardcover, but definetly go to your local library and give it a try, or buy it in paperback format.
