Inkheart

For a while I was truly a bit afraid to read this book out loud. Of course, you'll have to read it to see what I mean.

Meggie and her father live a normal, book lovers life; until a villain from their favorite book escapes the pages and lands straight in their living room. All of a sudden, Meggie is thrown in the middle of a world she's only read about. She must learn how to change a story that's already been written.

This book starts with a bang in the very first chapter. In fact, it was probably the book that got me caught up in the intriguing world of fantasy. It is a fresh idea that takes a book lover to places-well, places they only read about.


Although the ending to this book didn't quite prepare me for a sequel, do to the fact it seemed so resolved, it definitely wasn't disappointing. One of my favorite lines in the book is the last sentence. "As Moe had said: writing stories is a kind of magic too." This book isn't only fun for thrill seeking readers, but gave me, as a wannabe writer some food for thought.


To cap it all off, I do personally recommend this book, but of course, you'll have to read it yourself to come to your own opinion. I have read Inkheart at least three times in the course of a year, and I like it so much I will probably read it many, many more times.
