Inkheart

My father was a story teller. I recall that on car trips he would tell these long rambling stories.
I learned at a very young age to not interrupt my father, even if the story seemed to move too
slow. l learned that if I was patient, and listened attentively, his stories always paid off in the
end.

Inkheart is such a story. At times the pacing is slow. But, it is a rich story full of interesting
characters. If you give it a chance and buy into its premiss, youʼll be rewarded with a delightful tale honoring books and the power of the spoken word.

I was captivated with Inkheart. The acting was delicious and the special effects enhanced the
story without detracting from it. The costumers and make-up artists must have had a wonderful time recreating some very familiar characters that were enchanted out of their tales to be thrust rudely into our world. Some of these characters were so disenchanted with our world that they wanted nothing more than to go back to where they came from. For anyone who has ever escaped into the pages of a good book youʼll find Inkheart a delight.
