ough Inkheart was written by a German woman, Cornelia Funke, it's pretty darn good. Inkheart is the story of a young girl named Meggie who gets caught up in her fathers twisted past. Along with her father Mo, her Aunt Elinor, and the two mysterious figures Dustfinger and Farid she must find a way to defeat the evil baddie Capricorn and find her long lost mother Teresa. The book was very enchanting, but personally I thought it was a little slow. the charaacters and plot twist were enthraling, but there was so much potntial for the story that wasn't used. It could have had so much more action, but Funke-san kept it in the 'light' and just made it alittle more than a fairy tale. But even with all of the slowness I still thought it was pretty good. I'd give Inkheart a 3/5 for fantasy books.

ovie you sigh and ask God why he allowed such a crime to occur, especially in the case of Eragon. *shutter* And unfortuneatly Inkheart was one of these. Not only was it not true to the book, but it wa like land mines going off, boom! boom! boom! boom! and the whole movie was like that. Fortuneatally it had a great cast. Brendan Fraiser (Mummy), Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), Paul Bettany (A Knight's Tale), and Helen Mirren (?) all portrayed their characters beautifully. Personally I liked the movie better than the book, thee book was just a little to slow for me. Also Paul Bettany makes Dustfinger look hot. So For being true to the book I'd give Inkheart a 2/5 for by the book trueness, but a 4/5 for being such a great movie.

I thought I might just drive you crazy and be the first person to comment on your blog. Inkheart ruled (the movie) and the book did sound very slow.
