Inkheart is deffinatly coming to a climax. The story becomes more and more intense as I read. Even strainger things keep happening. I figured out that Capricorn is actually some evil boss from the book though I do not know his occupation yet. I think he may be some sort of evil king because he has a lot of men that follow him. He also seems to be a very harsh man. He never shows emotion he also values human life very lightly. He will kill or “dispose” of anyone he finds not worthy. Mo has a very strange ability, he can read things out of a book. The only catch is that if he reads something out of the book something from our world has to go in.
Dustfinger is now currently helping the tri escape from capricorns village. He seems to be very selffish and only does things for himself. He Capricorn capture Mo and Maggie just to get the book. Now that the book is destroyed he is helping them escape. He says that the only way out of the village is by vehicle because of all of the deadly snakes that surround it. Dustfinger dosent know how to drive so he gets someone else to do it for him. But I do think he also cares for Maggie. When Mo was taken away and Maggie was very sad Dustfinger felt sorry for her. He also put on a fireshow to try to cheer her up when she was bored at Elinors house. This book is become more exciting by the chapter and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

I’ve been reading Inkheart and the story is finally unfolding. I’ve learnt a lot in the past few chapters. It seems that Dustfinger and Capricorn have come from a book. Capricorn really wants this book and I think he may want to go back. I don’t know how he got out of the book but it must have something to do with this special ability Mo has. Mo, Maggie and Elinor are all in captivity from Capricorn. I think Capricorn may want to use Mo to get him back into the book. I can’t wait to read more!

When the evil do-ers came and took Maggies father away Dustfinger mysteriously disapperared. I think Dustfinger Is working with capricorn. After this whole mishap Dustfinger snuck into Maggies room and tried to steal the book but could’t because of something he feels for maggie. This furthers my suspicion that Dustfinger is working with Capricorn. He also seems to know a lot about Capricorn but dosent like to talk about it. I think Dustfinger is just in it for himself but is torn between help both capricorn and Maggie. He dosent want to hurt anyone but he wants to get whwat he wants. They are now traveling to capricorns village. Knowing that Capricorn owns his own village also makes me think that he may be some type of Mob boss. The book talks about roads going through mountain with castles. I can see this book set in the swiss alps in northern Italy. They are coming up on Capricorns castle and I can’t wait to really find out who this Capricorn is!

I’ve read the 4th and some of the 5th chapter. Maggie has finally seen this book. It is very well kept and has a picture that looks exactly like Dustfingers pet. Dust finger has a very unusual pet with horns and the same pet was in the book. This is very weird and I think Dustfinger and this book are very closely related. Also Dustfinger keeps staying at the aunt’s house even though he says he will leave the next day. I’m pretty sure Dustfinger wants this book. He also got the alarm system for the house turned off and now we hear strange men’s voices in the house. I can’t wait to read more!

Well hello there time for another post. I’ve read the first three chapters of Inkheart and the story is slowly unfolding. When reading the book you get the main characters point of view. The main character is a girl named Maggie and she doesn’t seem to know much. As the main character learns more information you learn more information. Both reader and Maggie are searching for more answers so the pace of the book never slows down. This book is great at describing things. Right now I can see them in a big dark mansion surround by a giant overgrown garden. I can see the moss growing on old statues and the Swiss Alps in the background. The main characters father is always hiding something from her mainly a book. I think something bad will happen soon. One character named Dust Finger is always on edge and wants to make things happen fast. I have a feeling we will see the antagonist soon. He goes by the name Capricorn. All we know of him is his name and how evil he is. The story is in Italy so I predict he may be something like a mob boss with his goons doing everything he says. I am very anxious to read more and there will be another blog post shortly!

After a long search and perusing through many books I finally found one to read. I got a recommendation from a friend to read Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It has been made into a movie so I thought it must be good. I didn’t really know what the book was about but the cover suggested fantasy. The shiny gold coins, shells and gems with a key said to me treasure. There is also a fairy and lizard around what looks like a window into another world. I think this may be a window into a book. I am very excited to read this book and will read it shortly.
