I have read the first 2 books, Inkheart and Inkspell, and am currently halfway through the third one Inkdeath... They are hands down the best books I have ever read! Amazing, the characters are so real, and the Inkworld is so beautifully described you feel as if your right there alongside all the characters... I REALLY Love these books Great job Cornelia! :) I think though it would be great if the author Cornelia Funke, wrote the actual Inkheart book so we could read it -- it would be like a pre-quel (I'm not sure if that has ever been done before?!) but there's not a doubt in my mind that it would be amazing to read. Please if you haven't read these books GO GET THEM :)
