Is Inkheart a good book?

As with Cornelia Funke's previous book, The Thief Lord, some kids will be put off by the leisurely pace of INKHEART, while others will be enthralled by the unusual story. But despite the slow pacing and repetition, this is a rousing adventure. Meggie is a stalwart heroine, and the villains are truly creepy and brutal (perhaps too much so for some children). Each chapter begins with a quote from another children's book, both foreshadowing the chapter and giving pleasure to bibliophiles. The whole thing is a paean to books, authors, reading, and especially reading aloud.

I really enjoyed Inkheart when I read it years ago. I think the plot is really interesting and the book helped me be more open to the fantasy genre. It's definitely worth a read.

The movie was terrible so I will venture to say no.
