Inkheart

‘I can tell you, It’s a horrible feeling suddenly landing in someone else’s story’

--Dustfinger

The book ‘Inkheart’ is about a man and his daughter. This man was named Mortimer or Mo for short and his daughter was named Meggie. Both characters have a special ability that is rarely given. They can read characters out of books! But no-one is safe, not even Mortimer and Meggie. With the ability to read characters out of books, Mo brings out men named Capricorn, Basta and Dustfinger with no intention. And because Capricorn found himself in a world he never knew before, he was quite delighted so Capricorn and his henchmen, tried to over-rule the world beyond ‘Inkheart’. Will Mo and Meggie be able to put an end to Capricorn and place everything back to what it was before?

My favourite characters in the book are Mo and Dustfinger. They are the 2 characters I like the most because they strive hard to fight evil even though Dustfinger made some slip-ups to save his own life. I like Mo because he is a very kind father to Meggie and he is also one of my favourite characters because of his awesome ability. Dustfinger is a cool character as well because he is a very skilled fire-eater and he is a good friend to Mortimer.

I recommend this book to people ages 10 and up and who love books filled with thrillers, adventure and mystery. I also recommend this book to people who enjoy books that are part of a sequence.
