Inkheart Part #2

    What is it that makes the fantasy world real? Where does it combine with the real world to make you life whole? It all happens in Inkheart. So far the style of the author is very intricate consisting of short and long sentences combined with details that make the story "pop". This style of writing helps keep me interested in the book, as life around me tries to penetrate my deep thought while reading. Full of scenes of buildings, forests, and valleys, and many other scenes, the book makes you feel like you are there standing next to Mo and Meggie as their journey begins to get bumpy. As they get through their challenges and overcome the trials given to them by Capricorn, the main characters come out behind their defenses and we learn more about them.

"A very particular book," Mo went on. "Inkheart. You wrote it quite a long time ago, and unfortunately I can't buy a copy anywhere now." With the mans icy stare still resting on her father, Meggie could only marvel that the words didn't freeze on Mo's lips.

Now that Meggie knows her Dad's secret, and the secret of the book Inkheart, she has to help protect them, with the intentions of finding and gaining the power of reading aloud. She is also trying to learn how to use the gift of tongues that makes the words leap to life. As more and more characters appear in the story, some fade away into darkness, never to be mentioned again, and makes an essence of Evil Vs.Good. Just like a candle that has been lit, the story burns down to the very wick, and makes the smoke rise into us like words that are written on every page. As fast as it came it left, with the idea that it would be a happy book, but how could that be? With evil conspiring against the protagonists, acting in a potentially lethal way.And as the story of Inkheart continues it leaves us with many things to wonder about: what can happen? What will happen? And how could this happen?
