Of course, it's that sort of earnest, almost gushing veneration of books and book-loving that made the absorbing suspense-fantasy Inkheart so wonderful in the first place, with that lit-affection getting woven integrally into the plot (Inkheart being both Funke's first book in the series, and the fictitious book within that book, authored by the frustrated Fenoglio, now trapped within the book, er, within the book. Fenoglio, perhaps not surprisingly, self-referentially wishes in Inkspell that he had written a sequel to Inkheart.) Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three." (Ages 8 and up) --Paul Hughes

Inkspell 2008-01-04
"A piece of wood broke apart in the flames, spiting out glowing sparks at her feet."The fire-eater Dustfinger needs to go back home.When he finds someone who reads him home, Farid plunges in after him and so does Meggie. But when something or someone goes into the book something has to come back out. Who is going to come out? If you read the book you will be suprised throughout.When I first read Inkspell,by Cornelia Funke, I was emmediatlety dragged into it. The main character, Dustfinger is very adventerous in this book, as are most of the other characters. In Inkspell my favorite character is Mortimer,Meggies dad. I like him alot because in the book the story revolved around him. This book is Fiction,but it is still very enjoyable. Another reason why I like this book is because I like fiction and it is an amazing book. I also thnk it builds your imagination because you have to picture things in this book to be able to understand it. I recommend this book for advanced reading, for teens, and adults who love fiction. I hope you read this book. It will drive your imagination out of this world!!!

One of the best books 2007-12-14
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke, is a fantasy book that has some reality in it.
Inkspell begins with Dustfinger going back into Inkheart with Farid. Farid ends up not getting into the Inkheart. Than he goes find Meggie to read him into the book. Meggie reads him and herself into Inkheart. Basta and Mortala come to kill Mo and Meggie. Mortala, Basta, Mo, and Resa get into Inkheart. In the book Mortala shoots Mo.
This is a book for fantasy lovers of the ages 11 to 15. It is for boys and girls. This book is good because it answers some questions from Inkheart. Inkspell has romance, action, and suspense which are good. I give this book a 9 out of 10.
Great Book! 2007-12-13
I have a passion for writing and reading any story I come across, especially stories that have a more outdoor or fantasy theme. Though whenever I try to write fictional work, such as fantasy, then I have trouble. Any ideas I think of I forget when I actually start writing and so that's the why I like "Inkspell," because it's about someone who loves books but the ideas disappear when she actually starts writing. I think the reasons ideas disappear when you write is because you're getting involved in a whole new world and it is very confusing to get used to that. This book is a sequel to "Inkheart," which is the first of a trilogy about this family that can read characters out of books, or in this case, read themselves into the book.
The first thing I'd like to congratulate the writer on is the fact that the story is very unique. I've yet to see a book about characters that can read other characters out of books and the way it is written is very well thought out. This story was very well thought out and a book with this much creativity can only be an awesome story indeed. I think the author could relate to the characters that she was writing about, as the characters are very unique and full of life. This could only be accomplished if the author had a lot of care and love for the characters that she was writing about. She paints their stories, emotions and thoughts with care that is gained only with years of writing experience. "Inkspell" is a true masterpiece in every way, the thought and detail put into this story made it into a story that will be known for years to come.
