The Inkheart Trilogy: Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath (Inkworld #1-3)
I read it many many years ago, in my mid teens I think. It's a beautiful concept. The idea that the characters of a book can come to life is you read it out loud. I'm sure many readers wished it was true. I know I spent quite a few nights reading out loud in the futile hopes of maybe seeing something fascinating from some parallel universe. In vain of course. But this trilogy, fascinating story apart, highlights the love of books that becomes almost an obsession for some, escape for others.
I love, love these books. They're great reads for fantasy. The whole concept is very creative, so cool I wish I'd come up with it! She's a great story teller with wonderful characters, her story is rich with it's own special world. You should check it out. But I'd recommend it on Audio book, Actor Brendan Fraiser reads book 2 and 3 himself and is a fantastic narrator! (He also plays the lead role of Moe the book Binder in the film version InkHeart as well)
Of all the book series I have ever read, this was the most beautifully written. With such vivid narration and completely unique ideas, reading books into life and being read into the books themselves, it takes storytelling onto a whole innovative level. The scenes that are within the books are in reality those of a fantasy world, but when reading about them, they just seem so realistic. The plot never bores you, in fact the more you read into the books, the more you are drawn not just into the
Wow. I will never see the world the same as I saw it before reading this book.
So, generally I didn't care for the characters and plot. Now that we have that detail out of the way, let's talk about the interesting things here:1. The structure of this book is interesting. It's paced much slower than one would expect, which is not to say it's slow, it just takes it's time unfolding. I'm not used to that over the last 20 years. It flows much closer to something written in the 80s (which, I guess is fine as it was probably written then, being published in 1990). Reading a book
I have to give the translator props here, because these do not read like translated works. I never would have guessed that they weren't originally written in English.Okay, I give the series as a whole four stars, but if I were rating them separately, it'd be like this:Inkheart: 3 starsFun young people's fantasy. Good concept. Some good characters, particularly Dustfinger, but Mo, Fenoglio, and Elinor are also swell. Entertaining. Certainly good enough to get me to pick up the sequel, but not

I have lost count how many times I've read these books over years. They're magnificent and so strangely enticing. Being a book worm, I love the idea of living in them, making them real with just a few whispers and changing fates with a couple of words. I like the characters and their edginess. As a child I valued Inkheart most, because it's the beginning of everything, the beginning of the characters and their lives. Now, while appreciating all three of them, Inkdeath has become dearest to me.I read it many many years ago, in my mid teens I think. It's a beautiful concept.
