Books: Favorites: Inkheart

Hello, Friends!

I haven't read Inkheart for a really long time, so I don't remember it exactly. However, I really like this book.

Inkheart is a book about books. That already makes it amazing, right? Meggie, 12, lives with her father, and her mother disappeared mysteriously when she was young. Both she and her father love books, and when a curious figure shows up at their house who seems to know Meggie's dad, she discovers that, whenever her dad reads out loud, the characters come out of the book. However, this has unexpected repercussions. . .

I loved Inkheart because, like I said earlier, it's a book about books. Also, it's really fun to have characters who love to read just as much as you do. This is kind of a spoiler, but not really: In trying to get characters back into their books, Meggie, her father, and her aunt get trapped in a book, and have to find their way out. Unlike we think, book worlds continue after the story is over, causing some interesting things to happen. . .


I really enjoyed this book, but it's the first of a trilogy. The rest of the trilogy isn't good. It's basically the same thing that happened in the first book over and over and over again.

Have you read this book? What do you like about it?
