Inkheart  (Inkheart, Bk 1)
laurqui avatar reviewed on


I loved this book. It had me so interested it was difficult to put it down. I think it took me all of 3 days to read it. It's very well written but I don't know that I would choose to read it to my 8 year old as there are some darker themes in here such as "the shadow" and even the darkness and innate evil that is found in the characters created by Fenoglio. This is a story about how Fenoglio's story comes to life and interacts with Silvertongue(Mo), his daughter Meggie, and others. Themes: Friendship vs. Betrayal, Good vs. Evil, Real vs. Fantasy, the darkness that draws in human interest, self-interest, self-preservation, love displayed in sacrifice and others.
