 Wonderful ending to a wonderful trilogy! December 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book for Christmas and just started reading it yesterday, and I finished it this afternoon! I could not put it down. The book is wonderfully well-written and I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
The beginning of the book starts off a bit slow, and luckily there is an "A to Z of Inkheart" in the back to remind you of who all the characters are (since it does get a little confusing), but even considering this the story captivated me just as it did in Inkheart and Inkspell. Funke has written an exciting conclusion to this series.
I don't know about you, but I like to get lost in the books I read, and these books definitely did that for me. Funke's writing captures the heart and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end. Great writing, and highly recommended!
Amazing end to the most intriguing of trilogies December 30, 2008

It makes me sad to read some of these reviews from people who thought INKDEATH was "boring" and that "absolutely nothing happened". I fell in love with these characters in INKHEART and followed them into the Inkworld in INKSPELL (probably the best of the three books). No, Meggie is probably not the protagonist in this finale, but the other "supporting actors" are pulled to the forefront, and their performances are beyond all expectation. The relationships between all the characters are more fully explored, especially the seemingly eternal bond between Mo and Dustfinger (my ultimate-favorite character). INKDEATH is much more dark and gruesome than the other two, and younger audiences should probably stick with INKHEART. However, all storylines are wrapped up beautifully, good wins out in the end, and the final chapters are skillfully written...I could not put the book down from about p.200 till the end. I have never in my 40+ years of reading been so invested in characters....I was sad in the end, only because I wouldn't "see" them anymore. I think if you loved the first two, you will not be disappointed by INKDEATH...you will want to stay in the Inkworld forever.
 A mediocre ending to a promising story December 29, 2008
I LOVED "Inkheart", liked "Inkspell" (mostly), but "Inkdeath" left me a little cold. The first half of the book moves so slowly, I seriously began not to care where it was going. The fact that a beloved character was brought back from the dead, only to be killed again, even temporarily, was unforgivable.
unique story December 27, 2008
I did not read the first book but the synposis at the beginning made the story understandable. This is a very unique story -a world created by the writer (and his pen) and those who can read the story into reality. I recommend this book highly to those of us with an imagination
Not as good as Inkheart December 25, 2008
My son enjoyed the book, which completes his collection. He thought it was okay, but not "absolutely super." He was fine with the ending--I wondered after reading some reviews. I'll have to update when I've read it.
