Book Review: A great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book will captivate even the most stubborn reader so that they will not be able to put it down! To fully understand this book you must read Inkheart, the first book of the trilogy. The book is about a girl, Meggie, who has the power to read people in and out of books. After his mentor returns to the Inkworld, distraught Farid searches Meggie so that she can read him into the book. They both go to the Inkworld and Farid finds Dustfinger(his mentor). Meanwhile Meggie learns that her enemie the Magpie has gotten read into the book along with her father and mother. Then she learns that the Magpie has shot her father. Some strolling minstrels mistake her father for a robber, the Bluejay, and tell the king. Thus begins an epic battle between good and evil. Warning! This book has a surprise ending that will make you impatient for the third book. A must-read book
Book Review: A great book for everyone

Inkspell has definately become one of my favorite books. I loved the way Cornelia incorperated fantasy into this book and i hope that there will be a sequal to this book. Meggie, a lover of all books goes on a dangerous journey and again foes into the Inkworld except now there is new evil afoot. Meggie has to help her family get out of the Inkworld and herself without getting captured by the Adderhead who is using her dad's (Mo's) reading powers to bring him power and money. This is definatley a book that i will always remember and will always be oin my favorite's list.Book Review: A journey to the InkWorld

Book Review: A kid's reviev (13)
Summary: 5 Stars
Inkheart and Inkspell were two of the most amazing books I've ever read, and I read whenever I have time. I was very close to tears when Farid died (he's my favorite), and C. F. will just HAVE to write a third book, Dustfinger just-can't-be-dead!!!!!!!! Anyway, I read the books in German, but I've got them in English too. But I think it was odd that in Inkheart Farid hardly noticed that Meggie even existed, and in Inkspell he's suddenly in love with her. But I think I'll read them at least five times just the same.

Summary: 5 Stars
In their first adventure, Meggie and her father Mo discovered they possessed a unique and wonderful talent: the gift of reading a book's character into real life and reading a real-life person into a book. For ten long years Meggie and Mo suffered the separation from their mother and wife, Resa, when she was read into their favorite story, and fought off the evils of Capricorn, who was read out of the same book. In this sequel to INKHEART, Meggie and her parents find themselves reunited, comfortable and safe for the moment.
But the quiet doesn't last for long. Farid, another misplaced character, is desperate to follow his teacher, Dustfinger, who returned to his own book. Farid begs the help of Meggie to read him into Dustfinger's story. She'll do it on one condition --- that she can go, too. She's dreamt of visiting the Inkworld, exploring The Wayless Woods, seeing the blue fairies, and meeting all of the fascinating characters in her favorite book. She leaves her parents a note, and then attempts to do what no one has done before --- read herself into a book. And she succeeds!
Meggie isn't too worried about getting home again. She knows that the book's author, Fenoglio, had already been read into the story. So when she is ready to return, she'll just find him, have him write her going home, she'll read it aloud, and travel back home. Simple.
Or maybe not. Things don't always go as planned, such as her parents also getting read into the story, Mo getting wounded (almost fatally), and her parents getting captured and locked in the dungeons of The Castle of Night. Fenoglio tries to help by writing more of the story, but it seems that the story is progressing of its own accord, and it doesn't seem to be heading for a happy ending!
Cornelia Funke does an amazing job of weaving words into this magical story. Who hasn't dreamt of entering a favorite book? She brings those dreams to life through Meggie and her adventures. Funke's beautiful descriptions of the Inkworld are colorful and inviting, enticing every reader to want to follow Meggie into the story. The third installment of this trilogy could not come fast enough!
