Product Description

Of course, it's that sort of earnest, almost gushing veneration of books and book-loving that made the absorbing suspense-fantasy Inkheart so wonderful in the first place, with that lit-affection getting woven integrally into the plot (Inkheart being both Funke's first book in the series, and the fictitious book within that book, authored by the frustrated Fenoglio, now trapped within the book, er, within the book. Fenoglio, perhaps not surprisingly, self-referentially wishes in Inkspell that he had written a sequel to Inkheart.) Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three." (Ages 8 and up) --Paul Hughes

Nearly as Good as the First
I very much enjoyed the first in the series and couldn't resist the second. While reading the lengthy tale, from time to time I caught myself wondering why this chapter couldn't have been half as long or what the heck does this paragraph have to do with the characters/place/plot?! But in the end (though in my opinion, the book could've been 440 pages or so) the characters, setting and story are so strong and likable that Inkspell is most definitely a superior read. Better than Thief Lord and 90 percent of everything else out there in the genre. And now, having finished the book months ago, I still find myself thinking of Meg, her father, mother and Fenoglio. Yes I will assuredly read the next.

Inkspell
Very interesting novel. Not quite as good as the first book but enjoyable. Picked up very well where the first book left off and leaves you ready for the third book. Looking forward to reading the third in the series.

A Classic YA Fantasy!!!
Inkspell is a spectacular Ya fantasy novel, as good as Inkheart with as many twists and turns. There is really nothing more to say about this book that hasn't been said in other reviews, only that it is absolutely worth every penny, which cannot be said for many other books on the market today. The characters are so realistic and developed you feel as if they could be sitting beside you, and in my opinion Dustfinger is the best character in the entire book! The book is worth reading just for Dustfinger!

A Book for Readers
If you've ever placed yourself into the life of your favorite character in a book, you need to read this. Are you sure you would really want to become part of your favorite story? Meggie and her father, Mo, now know all too well what being a part of the story really means when they have to go against Capricorn and Basta, two vengeful characters that magically are called out of their story and into our world. Along with their author, another character from their book named Dustfinger and his horned martian Gwin, Meggie, Mo, and Meggie's aunt Elenor have to find a way to get rid of Capricorn and Basta and help Dustfinger get back into his story.

Better than the first
I enjoyed this book more than the first. The majority of the story takes place inside the story of Inkspell. I could hardly stand to put the book down. It has a lot of action and adventure. It also has love, but not so much that it takes away from the story. Also, with the way it ended, I really can't wait for Inkdeath, although I will be sad to see the story end.
