My Jan 8/8 Ink Heart by Cornelia Funke


Meggie’s father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book’s wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie’s mother in.
Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!

Boy I don't know why any of you thought this book was slow moving. This is just proof that all of us have different likes and dislikes when it comes to books even though we all pretty much read the same genre of books. Anyway I freaking LOVED Ink Heart and can't wait to read Ink Spell but the library is going to have to order a new book cause whoever has it isn't bringing it back.

The whole concept of being able to read something or someone out of a book is totally awesome and in the same aspect totally terrifying. This book had the happily ever after that I love the majority of the time but I can't wait to see what will happen in the next 2 books.
