One would have to really appreciate fantasy to enjoy this story. While I love fantasy such as Harry Potter...Inkheart was a bit much for me.

I loved how the main characters are book lovers and they work hard to protect books...that part of the story is very interesting and I could relate to it.

The fantasy part of the story was a bit too much fantasy for me. I wish I could explain why I like Harry Potter and I don't like this as much, but I really can't.

One of the difficulties I had with this book is that it is very long and has some endless, unnecessary details that make the book drag somewhat. There are chapters that are very "calm," almost too calm, that make it hard to stay with the book. Then there are some very exciting chapters. I think if there were fewer chapters that dragged on about endless details, this book might have been more enjoyable for me. That might be the main difference between this and Harry Potter...Harry Potter always kept me interested while Inkheart lost me a few times througout the story. I almost quit reading it several times out of boredom.

I do recommend it for fantasy buffs though...if you like fantasy, you'll love this! :-)
