BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN
The begining of the book is murky and doesn't really make sense but keep reading! It is an amazing book about mo a.k.a. silver tounge and he transports a boy named Farrid to their world ( IN THE BOOK !!!) I have read all 3 books and they leave me breathtaken! I just keep wanting more and more of that kind of writting. The downs about it are that there is alot of cursing, killing ( knives, rifles, and so on..... ) I still highly recomend it!

Very good book
I absolutely loved this book. There's a lot of drama, a lot of action, and perfect villians (Basta is awesome). I felt that there were a few parts that got a bit boring, but for the most part, it's an excellent read. I would highly recommend it to fans of fantasy.

wonderful, kid-friendly fantasy that celebrates reading is a winner!
Inkheart is original and satisfying. The length may be a little discouriging to kids, but will be rewarded for reaching the 500 plus page ending that is wonderful. Not only is the end great, the trip to get there is just as original and fun. The book is written masterfully and is one of my top all favorite children's book. The story tells of a man who has the gift to read anything or anyone out of a fantasy. And one night he reads out one of the most horrific villian on earth Capricorn. 12 years later, the memory of this terrible chapter in his life, will come flooding back, not only terriizing him, but his wonderful child Maggie. The story is fresh and filled with twists you won't see coming and will gasp in surprise with the characters, and moan in pain when one is hurt. The characters are realistic and in one beautiful three paged chapter will get to know one a little bit too well. The magic is exciting and every page screams a book lover's cove. The book is stunning, but is also disturbing. The violence is presence, but it doesn't take from the story. Guns are shot off and used repetitivly sometimes so much its annoying. The bad guys are mean and cruel and almost win in the end. Kidnappings happen and knives are used. Some guards of Capricorn shoot at servant's skirt to see a little bit of un-menchables. The banter between Mo and Maggie is realistic and sweet, the perfect relationship. Characters say the d word and one character says suck. I can't wait to read the sequel, and any other magical tales erupting from this german author's head.

Great Book!
This is a great book. It's story is interesting, and pretty unusual. It only has like maybe 1 or 2 cuss words. Although, the bad guys are a pretty, well, bad (as in creepy), so it's not best for kids under 8 or so. (but they probably couldn't read it anyway) So, long story short, it's good and I recommend it.

Motivating but never cheesy!
The book navigated me through its maze of pages, through twists and turns. Thank you Cornelia Funke for bringing this into our lives. I recommend this book 100%!!!

Good for kids 10 and up
I love this book! It is a little violent and Meggie is often in a whole lot of adult problems. It also has a little swearing in it so it would not be good for little kids. This book is dark and Magical but is very suspending.
