Inkspell: An Amazing Adventure, Avril 3 2006
Inkspell
Fiction, FantasyThe setting of Inkspell , the book by Cornillia Funke takes place in
Inkheart, which is a book, and in Elinor's house. The main characters in Inkspell are Meggie, Fenoglio, and Dustfinger. Meggie is thirteen years old and lives with her father, her mother, Elinor and her helper Darius. Meggie is able to pull people and things in and out of books by reading out loud. She does this by reading a person's name or a thing out loud from a book. The person or thing is then part of the story. Fenoglio is the author of Inkheart and lives in Inkheart because Meggie's father,Mo who also can pull people into books, accidentally reads him into Inkheart. He is a strolling player. Dustfinger is the fire raiser and he is from Inkheart. He got read into the real world and then Orpheus reads him back in. The main conflict in the story is that Mo takes away the notebooks that Resa, Meggie's mother, wrote for her to read. He did this because he felt that she was isolating herself from the family. Meggie reads her friend Farid and herself into Inkheart because she wants to see a glimpse of Inkworld and Farid wants to find Dustfinger. Mortola, Basta, Mo and Resa are read into Inkheart by Orpheus at Mortola's demand. The Adderhead who rules the castle of Night thinks Mo is the Bluejay and wants to put him on the gallows, to hang. Fenoglio changes the story around by bringing the dead back to life. The black prince and his bear, Dustfinger, Roxanne the Healer, Farid, Meggie and the robbers have to save Mo from the gallows. The main theme of this book is good against evil. I like this book very much. It allows your imagination run wild. The book takes the reader to Inkworld and allows the reader to escape from the world around him/her. I recommend this book to kids ages 9 to 15 years old. This book is for anyone who enjoys books that have magic, fantasy, adventure and fighting. You must read Inkheart to fully understand Inkspell

This book Put a Spell on Me!, Oct. 21 2005
Par Un client
This book, from the minute I opened it, to the moment I shut it, kept a spell on me. I almost felt as though I really was in the book with them! This is a fantasy, but for those who might not normaly read fantasy, it is pretty easy to follow. It has lots of thrilling moments, and even a bit of romance. I almost cried at the end, but I think you'll agree, Inkspell will keep us all spellbound.

Inkspell, Mai 22 2007
I think that this is the best fantasy trilogy of all time. Sure, it's not quite as amazing as the Lord of the Rings (which is actually just one extremely long book) or as charming as the Chronicles of Narnia (which are 7).
However, I loved it for 3 reasons: it was imaginative, it was engaging, and it was long. A book being long, yet gripping, is very important to me because I read very quickly and I love a story that just keeps going on and on that takes me more than an hour or two to finish. This book took my 5 hours nonstop the first time I read it.
Inkspell is even better than Inkheart, probably because it almost completely leaves this world behind and immerses us in an enchanting new world that combines elements of mythology, the Middle Ages, and Cornelia Funke's superb imagination. The book combines elements of happiness, suspense, intrigue, romance (yay!), magic, and tragedy for a perfect, delicious balance. I also delight in the little quote at the beginning of each chapter that gets you guessing as to what's going to happen next. I am practically dying waiting for the 3rd book to come out so I can see what happens to Dustfinger and Meggie and Farid and Eleanor and Mo. I can't wait till the movie comes out in March!
The one thing that concerns me is that since this is a children's book, it would be considered childish. However, I find it's just as complex as many adult books I've read, and as for the content? I don't think that everybody has to be swearing and sleeping around and killing each other messily for a book to be interesting to adults. I'm 14, and I loved it, but even better, my dad thinks it's "real literature". Like the book back of Inkheart, I dared to read Inkheart aloud to my dad, and now we're almost completely through Inkspell. While I'll never be able to read aloud as well as a professional actor such as Brendan Frasier or Lynn Redgrave, it showed me how fun it can be to read a book that you love aloud.
I know that when I have children, I will share this book with them.
(Note: Since you're only allowed to post one review of each thing, I'll have to make my review of the Audio CD a postscript. Brendan Frasier didn't read Inkspell the way I imagined it at all. I read one person say that he totally ruined Elinor; ironically, she was the only character I thought he read the way I imagined. Also, his good if at first alarming voice for Farid influenced the way I did mine in reading aloud. Other than that, I thought he majorly messed up many of the characters. Dustfinger was okay, but the bad guys sounded more Eastern European than evil, Meggie seemed whiny, and giving the Italian author Fenoglio a Brooklyn accent? Utterly confusing, jarring, and frustrating. He sounds more like a thug than a gruff, quirky grandfather and world creator.
