I am not a very big reader, to be honest.. I hardly read at all. But when I won this book from the Library when I was 9 years old, I fell in love with it. Enough of my rambling let me read the introduction on the inside of the 534 paged book, called Inkheart, written by Cornelia Funke.

"Imagine it were possible to bring the characters from a book to life. Not like when someone reads a book which such enchantment that the characters seem to jump off the pages and into your bedroom.. but for real. Imagine they could actually climb out of the pages and into our world.

Then, imagine if those characters brought their world into ours.

One cruel night, young Meggie's father, Mo, reads aloud from Inkheart and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books.

Somehow, Meggie and Mo must learn to harness the magic that conjured this nightmare. Somehow they must change the course of the story that has changed their lives forever.

This is Inkheart, a timeless tale about books, about imagination, about life."


It's a wonderful fantasy/action-adventure book. I always come back to it. There is also the second book.. Inkspell.. and then the last.. Inkdeath. I suggest reading it sometime if you get the chance to.

They also released the movie of it.. this year. It came out in theaters Jan. 23rd if I do remember right. It was also good however let me tell you something about it.

If you plan on reading the book first.. do not expect the movie to be anything like the book at all. The book is better, but the movie is still good.. it's just so much different from the book it's not even funny.

In that case I'll watch the movie first! I hate being dissapointed with movies after reading the book.

Same here. Know that, after reading the book some things might make a little bit more sense in the movie. My mom, who did not read the book, but did watch the movie was confused at one scene, so I had to explain it to her.

I just blame the fact that it is hard to put every detail from a book into the movie, however like I said.. not very many things are in common. It's a good movie. But a better book. Same storyline and characters.. but.. sadly that's about it.

Well, it works out either way if both are good!

This is true. I think the best books to movies that I've seen thus far would have to be Harry Potter. It's about the only one that hasn't added something in, taken something out that's a huge part of the story, or completely changed it.

I agree completely. My sister who is a big movie watcher said that she actually saw a movie that only had two things that were not in a book. It was a Stephen King movie. Dream catcher, I think?
