Fantasy

Plot:

It's about a girl and her father, who have the magical ability to read (aloud) characters and objects out of books. The girl, Meggie, has the ambition to enter the Inkworld, inside the book "Inkheart" (to understand this book, you need to read Inkheart, the first book in this series). She and a boy, Farid, enter the Inkworld to find out what it is like, and to find Dustfinger, the fire eater. The adventure goes on from there.

good:

It was an extremely good book, with great detail and vivid imaging. Cornelia Funke is a great writer, because she uses extravagant language. She writes an intricate plot, full of fascinating characters and cliffhangers at every corner.

weaknesses:

Inkspell is rather, I find, left open without a closing at the end of the book, unfinished. However, I think that she is planning a third book.
