Third and final book and series is up there with Inkheart!
This story receives a full five stars and is at the same level---if not better---then Inkheart! RECOMMENDED!

Good, book just for children older than twelve.
This book was very well written, however I would suggest that if you read it you are above the age of twelve, here's why: Some of the content, such as violence, mild-swearing, and some situations are inapropriate for younger readers. For example: There is a little more violence in this book than in the rest of the series, and the bad guys just keep achieving a new height of badness. Now keep in mind I like this book, I'm not suggesting that nobody should read this it, I'm just saying that you should be above the age of twelve before you pick it up and flip through the many pages of Inkdeath.

Alright...a bit of a letdown, though
This book was okay. It was extremely dark, so you may want to watch for that. And there was tons of cussing, which every now and then it's okay (sounds like what real people would say) but it kind of gets excessive and annoying. Meggie and Farid are kind of have a relationship which I don't really like, kind of takes away from their characters. (but Mo an Dustfinger are still awesome :D) So I kind of recommend it if you read the first two.

Drama! Adventure! Romance! Action! Brilliance!
I just finished this book today and let me tell you, it was COOL! This is a great book, even more so than the others in the series, but I will warn you that this is not for children. There is little description in the worst parts but there are some pretty "ugh" areas of the book that little kids probably shouldn't read. Some things are just brief references of things such as a plan to kill a man and turn his skin into paper (he would've done it too!) or a woman having a crush on a married man. Other things are shown, without any really gory detail or sometimes no detail at all, like children being trampled by warhorses. This is a rough book. All that aside, this is a must-read for teens and adults. It has a brilliant, at times hard to follow, storyline as well as an amazing, detailed, but not too detailed, narration... thingy. One more thing: commonsense is wrong. This book is much darker than the last.

Geared towards teens
Excellent! This book is filled to the brim of imagination. It is also action packed throughout. There is some swearing and kissing but it is nothing too bad. Inkdeath centers on the fact that anything is possible through literature and in the end you won't be able to stop thinking about the characters Ms.Cornelia has created.

Anxious to know the ending but wishes it never ends.
I also like the chapter-head quotes. The characters aren't described that well and bits of their description are found throughout the chapters. At first you have an image of them until the color of their hair is specified and your whole image changes. The story, however, is very creative as every character plays a different yet interesting role. Funke has a wonderful imagination and readers are bound to fall in love with characters. I just finished Inkdeath right now and I recommend it!

An imaginative book!
this book is NOTHING like its predecessors. it is so much more vivid and imaginative. although Mo is more on the spotlight than Meggie, the effect is still brilliant. the book is descriptive and will give you a full understanding of what is going on. the only things i would watch out for younger kids is the violence; there is torturing mentioned, although none is actually inflicted; and meggie is caught between two boys that she both likes. other than that, a very good book!

The last book falls short of good wholesome reading
There is so much gruesome gruesome being key word here violence and peril including death of children and kidnapping of children. Mo and Meggie make smart decisions but honestly this book is so full of sex!!

My favorite author and book of all time! The best I have ever read!
This is a must-read book. If you like Cornelia Funke, you'll love this book. It has such suspenseful qualities to it that you just want to skip to the end, but know it will ruin it. It keeps you waiting until the next time you open it. Hard to put the book down. There is OK language, just OK, barely. Lots of violence, but not SOO fierce. I'll admit, if you haven't read Inkheart or Inkspell, this will make no sense what-so-ever to anyone. A lot of characters to remember, and places, and names. I made the mistake of waiting until the next year to finish the series, and had to reread the first two books. There is too much to remember for a long amount of time. Lots of magic, but it never bores you. I love the series, and was SOO sad when I finished Inkdeath because it's the end of everything. A lot of things were left open, so I want Cornelia to write another, but as it says, Inkdeath is the final book. Anyone who has a great imagination, loves adventure, suspense, and edge-of-your-seat fun, awesome book! I love the book and encourage anyone eligible to read it. Awesome on SO many levels, and the best book I've ever read by far!

The last and exiting book of the series!
I found that the series were a blast! You can relate to characters in the book, like the heroine Meggie, her protective father Mo, Elenor the book lover! The third and last book shows more of the dark side of the Inkworld, there are a couple of death scenes but the author doesnt go into a deep explenation of how it happened. The book is very exiting and each chapter finishes on a cliff hanger. I really adore this series, it's full of magic, dark magic and adventure. I recomend this book, but not to the younger kids because they do swear a bit in the book, and the book revolves around darkness BUT the heroes in the story are determined to make things better in the Inkworld!
