Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One cruel night, Meggie's father reads aloud from a book called Inkheart — and an evil ruler escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. For only she can change the course of the story that has changed her life forever. This is Inkheart — a timeless tale about books, about imagination, about life. Dare to read it aloud.
Review:
"[A] delectably thick and transfixing fantasy....[T]he characters are wonderfully complex....Funke once again proves the power of her imagination; readers will be captivated by the chilling and thrilling world she has created here." Publishers Weekly
Review:
"Master translator Bell takes the German text and spins out of it vivid images and heart-stopping language that impel the reader through this adventure about narratives — a true feast for anyone who has ever been lost in a book." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Like many other fantasies, this will appeal to a broad age range, though the writing is far less child-centered than it is, for example, in the Harry Potter series." Carolyn Phelan, Booklist
Review:
"Characters from books literally leap off the page in this engrossing fantasy....This 'story within a story' will delight not just fantasy fans, but all readers who like an exciting plot with larger-than-life characters." School Library Journal
Review:
"[A]n astonishing magical world....[A] wonderful coming of age story in which the female protagonist has to find the courage to survive in the magical world in which she found herself." Children's Literature
Review:
"Filled with twists and turns, ups and downs, this fantasy will leave you moved..." Alan Review

Ok .. i am a 30 something adult who loves juv fiction. And this is a great book. And incredible story that I think is based on a wonderful and amazing idea. I mean imagine if we could make characters come to life.
Also, Funke is german and the geography and culture included in the book is from Europe which makes the story even more interesting. If you enjoy a good imaginative story then this book is for you.

I love this book! It's fantastically written. But sometimes it gets confusing with all of the different characters and names. That's the only reason it didn't get a perfect 5 from me.
