BOOK REVIEW - "INKHEART"

The book of books - INKHEART

The fantasy trilogy "Inkheart" has left a big mark on my mind and my heart,with its mesmerizing creatures and hidden,truly significant lessons.It is a collection of everything you could imagine to be in a book-love,drama,action,irony etc. and that's the reason why it has been made into a film,though with a bit twisting here and there.As the novel starts,it's already grabbing you full attention and giving it's first lesson,i.e. the magic of books.A book talking about books.....that's something unusual,don't you think?And then the fantasizing characters ,ranging from the cruel "Capricorn" and the deadly scary Shadow...well,"The Shadow" to the fire-raiser "Dustfinger" and "Mortimer" who is also called "Silvertongue" because of his power to take out things from books,even people.Cornelia Funke has done a great job in shaping the characters,as it can be evidently observed in her character "Fenoglio",who is the writer of the book Inkheart,around which the story revolves.
The story talks about Mortimer who has the capability of reading things out of books by using his sweet,velvety voice.This power passes on to her dear daughter,Meggie who,like her father,has a great passion for books.It is a mishap of all the things that happen to them when his father unintentionally takes out a terrible and cruel death-lord,Capricorn.
In all,this is an exciting and adventurous story that will keep you captivated till the end.
