It got too wordy in places, but otherwise, it was a great book. ( ![]() Ik geef het boek 4 sterren. Eigenlijk ietsje minder als ik naar mezelf kijk, maar ik behoor niet tot de doelgroep en ik vind het voor de doelgroep zelfs een dikke 4 sterren. Goed plot, vlot geschreven en goede karakters. Wat wil je nog meer? Page 118 This book is quite long and there are a few filler chapters that just serve to bring certain characters back to the villain. Overall, it's well written, but lags in the middle. I won't be continuing the series and most likely will not read anything else from this author since this is the second book that has left me feeling underwhelmed.
Such breathtaking things are going to happen, you cannot even imagine. SPECTACULAR!, FABULOUS! BREATHTAKING! If you've got to read a book it's got to be this one. Inkheart is a book about books, a celebration of and a warning about books. The "Inkheart" of the title is a book. I don't think I've ever read anything that conveys so well the joys, terrors and pitfalls of reading. ... When the villains are at last defeated and the denizens of the book tumble through into reality, it is quite disappointing to find them gaudy, small and trivial. Is Funke saying that, while books as books are wonderful, real life has a solid sort of grimness that renders make-believe flimsy? Or is she pleading with us to mix at least a little fantasy with our reality? I don't know. Inkheart leaves you asking such questions. And this is, to my mind, an important thing for a story to do.
