well written fun

I was a huge inkworld fan...I actually love this book! highly recommend funke book.

uninspired.

a typical parallel world story. Jacob's brother William follows him into the mirror and is attacked and turned into a goyle (sp?) a santient being with skin of semiprecious stone, in his case jade. Jacob sets up to cure/save his brother and risk's his life in the process. you know how some series grab you and you can't wait to get to the next installmnet? This one did not. at the end I found myself thinking I te all ly don't care what happens next.
ok story but not worth perusing. The use the same melody in the Introduction as end as is used in the Fires of Heaven from Robert Jordan's Wheel of time series. I'm going but to relisten to that.

Phenomenal

I've read the book but i drive a lot for work and wanted to have it on audible. is a great story and the reader was great as well.

great book want more. good ending

loved the book and voice reading it. would recommend, but if not listening carefully could be hard to understand.

another fantastic series!

I love the inkheart series and have bought this book quite a while back. sadly it's at in my library for a very long time until I picked it up recently and I was hooked right in, I am excited to find that there are two more books waiting for me. anyone who likes a dark fairytale and adventure is sure to love this series.

Good book

It was very interesting, and the narration is very good. I am pleased, and it helped me more than just reading it by myself.

Engaging

This is a great page Turner. This book takes traditional fairy tales and brings them to the present day. There is enough PG13 content to interest the young adult. The only thing I found difficult was that there was sometimes details missing that made you wonder what exactly was going on. I think part of this has to do with the fact that it's translated from German to English.

I am in awe!

This story makes me want to read again. The narration only amplifies this incredible tale.

Behind the mirror

I always suspected that the real world of fairy tales would be a lot more Grimm than Disney. This story sucked me right in and kept my interest to the end. The little behind-the-storybook scenes, such as what really happened to Sleeping Beauty, added texture to the story rather than distracting from it. Not a sweet story, and everybody doesn't live happily forever after, but I highly recommend it. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Page turner ... so to speak

What a wonderful, magical story. I couldn’t bear to stop listening. I think about this story all the time. It’s delicious.
