Book Reviews of Inkdeath (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: My favorite Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Inkdeath by Cornella Funke is a fantasy book.
Inkdeath begins with Mo going to see Balbulas's work. He gets captured by Violante. Violante gives him a deal to write the three words into the white book. Meggie is worried about Mo and falls in love with Doria. Farid is working for Orpheus so Orpheus can write Dustfinger back.
Inkdeath is a very good book with tons of twists, great characters and an excellent ending. I recommend this book for ages 10 and up.
Book Review: Not a dust collector
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a very small library in my classroom. Currently I have 7 students who are on a waiting list to read it. I won't be able to read it until summer. Oh, well!Book Review: Not as good as Inkheart
Summary: 3 Stars
My son enjoyed the book, which completes his collection. He thought it was okay, but not "absolutely super." He was fine with the ending--I wondered after reading some reviews. I'll have to update when I've read it.Book Review: Oh come on
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is so different and boring and so plotless and demeaning to the rest of the series it seems like Cornelia Funke didn't really write it at all.
All the characters are different. Meggie is a selfish brat who won't leave the stupid `Ink-World' just because. Farid kisses girls while he's being a slave to the stuck-up and pompous Orpheus. Mo is an idiot who doesn't want to save his and his families lives just because he doesn't want the Ink-world to be without a Bluejay.
What happened to Meggie becoming an author? Why doesn't she at least ATTEMPT to write them back?
The whole picture of the novel is that a family is fleeing for their lives from the Adderhead, and are freezing, flea-bitten, and hungry. Yet, they don't miss home, or even try to go back. Mo doesn't want to, so he refuses to go even when Resa pleads for the sake of their unborn child (women often died from childbirth there). Her opinion doesn't matter to him, even though he claims to love her and that she is his wife.
Fenolgio is a senile old man that won't help anyone, and while the country is being torn apart they do nothing but titter around and talk about boring things, and worry about the Piper and Adderhead.
Meggie and Farid aren't together in the end. Instead, a picture-perfect guy with a girl's name is in his place.
Mrs. Funke should have really stopped with Inkheart.
And not even mentioning the boy's name in the end? Elinor selling her family jewels when she could have just gotten Darius to read gold into their hands?
Mo also says that Meggie is in love with Farid, and she's almost grown up, therefore, the family should stay there.
THIRTEEN?! You call that 'almost grown-up'? His parenting makes me wonder if he cares about Meggie at all. What happened to his obsessive need to protect her that was in Inkheart?
Also, girls don't fall in love at thirteen. It doesn't happen. Puppy-love, maybe. Most likely a crush. But families don't stay in suicidal worlds just because their daughter has a little crush on someone who won't leave that world. Mo really got on my nerves.
It's a horrible novel, and I don't know what five-star people are thinking.
Book Review: One in a million
Summary: 5 Stars
A book this complex and moving, doesn't come along very often. This story is truly something special.
