You'll have to let me know if you pick it up, I'd be curious what you think of it.<BR/><BR/>Lady P: shannon Hale writes books that are modern re-writes of fairy tales. Some sound really interesting. I'll try and get some titles, though if you check any of book blogging buddies, almost everyone has read her but me!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-62808692100473299942008-04-11T08:54:00.000-04:002008-04-11T08:54:00.000-04:00Kristen first saw The Thief Lord as a movie and ab...Kristen first saw The Thief Lord as a movie and absolutely loved it. She then purchased the book which sits in her library collection; she tells me it was good as well. I watched The Thief Lord with her and it was pretty good!<BR/><BR/>This author you mention, what books has she written that you could recommend to your dear niece? p.s. she doesn't read anything because it's popular. She prefers titles that interest her.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256567414059449423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-47096718148534945062008-04-11T08:19:00.000-04:002008-04-11T08:19:00.000-04:00I've been really curious about Inkheart.

It has some interesting ideas, and Dustfinger is really neat as a character. It's not a bad read,just not great. <BR/><BR/>Lady P - since Carl above says the movie is worse than the book Kristen might be right to not see it!! Eragon, that is. the movie Inkheart looks good, which is why I read the book first. to me, books are always richer than movies (for movies based on them, I mean). Has Kristen got any Shannon Hale on her bookshelf? Everyone is reading her these days. <BR/><BR/>c.b.james: I have Thief Lord, I still have to read it. Apparently the movie for this is quite good, too. I'll let everyone know when i've read it...I find it interesting that you and your class has the same opinion as everyone else, that Inkheart is the best of the two. I like how you say "Inkheart says all that needs to be said"! It is an interesting concept, isn't it? And I think alot more could have been done with it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-66831904180830575572008-04-10T17:01:00.000-04:002008-04-10T17:01:00.000-04:00I'm actually a big fan of Inkheart.

I'm stunned to hear that there will be a third book. <BR/><BR/>My students who loved Inkheart, did not like Inkspell much either. <BR/><BR/>The Thief Lord, also by Funke, is much better than Inkspell.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-83537000048670481732008-04-10T11:20:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:20:00.000-04:00I'll have to check Kristen's library and see if sh...I'll have to check Kristen's library and see if she has this Inkheart book. A lot of popular teen series she's not been interested in reading. She liked Eragon and its sequel but refuses to see the movie. She finds the movies ruin the books. All this at only 14?

I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with the book, and I think it is a pity, because I really want to like them!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-72335039957658260422008-04-09T12:49:00.000-04:002008-04-09T12:49:00.000-04:00Hi Carl - I haven't read Eragon yet - my sister sa...Hi Carl - I haven't read Eragon yet - my sister said it was good, so someday - but there are so many other fantasies to read in the meantime!! I know the movie was not well received. I expect we'll see it someday when my children are a bit older....I still haven't decided if I can take my 5 year old to see Inkheart when it opens later this spring. She really wants to go. <BR/>By the way, what didn't you like about Eragon the movie?<BR/><BR/>Hi Eva - I've emailed you already and you know how excited and thrilled I am!! Hurray! thank you!!!!

I'm with you on this one. My immediate reaction was perhaps I should have re-read 'Inkspell' first and that i might then have enjoyed this more. I thought it was perhaps taking the original idea further than it actually had to go. When the final part arrives I will definitely try and read all three books straight through and see if that helps, but I'm wondering if the fact that we have had to wait quite some time for book the third indicates that Funke is having a problem spinning it out further.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-74182045567089863002008-04-09T11:33:00.000-04:002008-04-09T11:33:00.000-04:00Hi Susan!
