Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
I probably should have reviewed this book sooner but I was kind of disappointed by it and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to say.
It’s a story about a girl, Meggie, whose father, Mo, can read characters out of books. A long time ago, he read a book called Inkheart and a few bad characters came out of the book. These bad guys are after Meggie and her father because they want Mo to read some more characters out of their book.
The book was really slow and loooong. It could have been half the length and still told the same story. It could have been a lot more exciting and suspenseful. The idea is really cool and has a lot of potential but honestly, I think this one just fell flat. I bought the sequel to this one, but I don’t plan on reading it any time soon and I’m pretty sure I won’t even buy the third one. When I compare this with books like Harry Potter and Fablehaven it just doesn’t even come close. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

I think this is the first negative review I’ve seen for this book. I am planning to read it soon, so was surprised to see that you thought it was slow. I wander what I’ll think of it?
