Title: Inkheart
Series: The Inkheart Trilogy - 1st book
Author: Cornelia Funke
Read Before: yes
My Comments: It’s fairly good, although when you finish reading it, you tend to think what had really happened, and the answer is, nothing much, but it is fairly interesting. I think it was more enjoyable reading it after you have read the second and third book in the series, because the characters seem a bit bland in this one, and they don't really develop. The author slipped a bit in this one, the execution wasn't that good, the plot wasn't grabbing and nothing much interesting happens. To be frank, there isn’t anything special or extraordinary happening here, but the author had succeeded in one thing, and that is making me hate the main villains, they are really cold and heartless, with no redeeming qualities to make you like them. It would have been better if the story was based in some fantasy land instead of firmly within the realm of reality where a lot of things don't make sense.
Rating: 6/10
Rereadability Factor: 3/10
