Monkeylady, I have read all the books in the trilogy. I got the first book as a present from a friend and read the first chapter and thought it was mega boring. But then I tried it again a few months ago and loved it!!! The movie is pretty good too.

It was a wonderful book with all the characters mixed together in one adventure. Thank you, Cornelia Funke for this amazing book. I hope to read all your other books too.

i have only read the first one. i was wondering weather the others are good or not. can anyone tel me???

I read this a little bit of this book but I didn't really like it. To me it was too boring. B ut my friend loved it and finished that fat book in 3 days.

this book is filled with drama and adventure. i love this book. My older sister lent it to me because she said it was a really good book. i haven't read any of the other books though. i hope to read them someday. Right now i'm reading the book The Uglies. it's pretty good so far. i hope i like it.

i saw that movie it was pretty cool but the book i didn't like much, try watching inkheart the movie

It is really cool- I wish desperately I could read myself in a book. I would probably disapear into Narnia or somewhere and never come back again. <3 i remember once when i was really little, my dad got this book for me, I was trying to read The Spider and the Fly aloud to see if I could read things in and out of books, too. I look up and there was a fly on the wall! I was so proud of myself, but I could never do it again. i was horribly disapointed when I realized it was probably just coincidence. Or was it? ;)

the first two books are amazing!!!!! i could not put th books down!! but the third book has some pretty rough (as in swear words) language. there were like 8 swear words in the first chapter!! i would not of minded a few, but there were so many that i did not finish the 3rd book. the first two, though, i would reccommend to anyone over the age of 9!!! this will keep you in suspense and i am pretty sure that you will love at least the first 2 books!!!! :);):P

Just started this - It seems like a mystery and has my attention!
