Summary: Review for Inkheart
Review: After finishing this book just a few hours ago, I have many thoughts and comments on its ending, and overall, itself. Ms. Funke' s idea to enlight Mo and Meggie with the ability to read characters out of their books is absolutely delighting. It gives the reader a thought about the real book, Inkheart, itself and what would happen if characters in it would literally pop-out!
The end popped questions in my mind like: Are we part of a story that is on ink and paper? How can the real inkheart (book) tell a story about the precious one full of fairies and trolls?
The ending wasn't how I expected Cornelia Funke would tie up her story. Shadow just kills Capricorn and the rest of his men, happiness is restored, and everyone lives happily ever after...good for a fairy tale, but not this one. She did better with The Theif Lord, which I thought was as excellent, if not better, than Inkheart.
Overall, four/five stars would be my rating for this book.

Summary: Inkheart- A Magical Journey That You Will Never Forget!
Review: If you plan to read this to your kids, bring an oxygen tank. Some sentences are so long you run short of breath. In fact, this author seems to really love sentences that drift like a leaf that's been ripped from the branch of an aged tree towering over a new forest that sets beside a surging river where horses, cattle, and sheep crossed long ago as they were driven past majestic mountains under which lay vast caverns laden with much better written books like the Prisoner of Azkaban.

I wonder have you ever imagined a book's character to be real? I mean, real. So real like your friends that you hang around with. So real like an ordinary human.
This is what this book is exactly about. One night, a man reads the book out loud. He unleashed characters in the book. Which is just fine, I might say. However, what if they are evil? Believe it or not, or most unfortunately, I might add, he has unleashed unspeakably evil characters.
Now is the time. The man and his daughter must find a way to terminate the characters that the man has summoned. How are they going to stop them, now that the man has accidentally called the horror?
This book is fun to read. Frankly, I might have exaggerated the summary. So excuse me! Please do not get scared. This book contains an exciting adventure. You can never take your eyes off of that book and it is a fine book to read. Very truly, I tell you, I definitely can recommend this book to others who like to read fantasy.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: Inkheart is my all time favorite book. The plot is fascinating and kept me reading until the end. The characters and setting are very well developed as if she were there just explaining her surroundings showing her life to the reader. I recommend this book to anyone who can read. :)

Review: This book was very good, but at some points was pretty boring. The German version is better (but only if you know German). A lot of the words can have different translations so it is very interesting.

Summary: The Book-Lovers Book
Review: This is the story of Meggie, a girl who has been brought up on books,and loves them more than anything, except her father, whom she calls Mo.
She, like everyone, has often wondered what it would be like to live in a book world, but when a book world comes to her life, it isn't as nice as you might think.
Mo is called Silvertongue, because when he reads aloud, things come out of books.Sometimes the things are alive, and not very pleasant.
Capricorn, a villain from the book Inkheart came to life in our world when Meggie was just a baby, and Mo has been running from him ever since. He couldn't run forever, and when Capricorn catches him, only Meggie---who might also have the silvertongue curse---can save him, with the cooperation of the slightly bonkers author of Inkheart,Fenoglio.
Things end all right, but many bad things happen that can never be healed. That's what gives this book its beautiful realism.
