Summary: Full of adventures
Comment: I bought the hardcover edition of this book. The colorful cover is much too juvenile for my taste but I'm not judging the book by its cover. :) It is definitely written for young readers but adults will also enjoy it. It is an adventure film in print, jumping from one adventure to the next, and although the amount of "fantasy" in this book is not comparable to other books in the same space like the Harry Potter Books (1-7) or Eragon (Inheritance), it is quite adequate and the premise is original (at least to me).
It does have its shortcomings that, I should add, can be ignored as long as you don't read it with a critical mind. There are decisions made by the characters that are "too convenient" and the ending could be better. The author may have been thinking ahead to the next 2 books in the trilogy. There are many surprises in the story but by the middle of the book I already knew the solution to their "magical" challenge (predictable), I was just waiting for them to do it. The climactic part towards the end, when a fantastic being arrived, reminded me of a scene from another book - The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 1) but unfortunately this one does not have the same amount of suspense.
All that being said, I still recommend this book for anyone between the ages of 9 to 99 :) You may need to buy the next 2 books, Inkspell and Inkdeath, as well to complete the story.

Summary: a review of the audio book
Comment: I'll let others review the content of the book. This review is specific to the audio book, which is read by Lynn Redgrave. She does a beautiful job of defining the many voices in the story, and unlike some readers, she modifies the characters' voices when appropriate. For example, if the character has a cold, she speaks with a stuffier voice. Ms. Redgrave does an excellent job with both the male and female voices and is a pleasure to listen to.

Summary: An Amazing Adventure
Comment: The book Inkheart is about a girl named Meggie who lost her mother between the pages of a book. She, her father, and a man named Darius all have the ability to read characters out of books. Meggie calls her father Mo. Some people call him Silvertongue and others call him Mortimor. And if you happen to like adventures, this is definitely the book for you! There are two other books called Inkspell and Inkdeath that I haven't read yet, but I bet they'll be great!!

Summary: Amazingly captivating tale!
Comment: I loved this book. I got it to read over Christmas break so that I could watch the movie in January, but I picked it up just to look at it a few days ago and I couldn't put it down! It has a great story and the writing is fantastic! I started it probably a week ago and I finished it last night! I can't wait for the movie and I can't wait to read the other two in the series! Way to go Mrs. Funke!
