Inkspell

De: Cornelia Funke

Narrado por: Brendan Fraser

Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of Inkheart, the book whose characters came to life–and changed her life forever.

But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the original tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the magical ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval inkscape once more.

Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long both are caught inside the book, too. There they meet Inkheart's author, Fenoglio, now living within his own story. But the tale is much changed, and threatening to evolve in ways none of them would have ever imagined. Will Meggie, Farid, and Fenoglio manage to write the wrongs of a charmed world? Or is their story on the brink of a very bad ending?©2005 Cornelia Funke; (P)2005 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, a division of Random House, Inc.

An excellent narrator

I prefer not to make comments on books as I believe each person needs to delve into their realms untarnished by the judgements of others. As such, this review is actually for the narrator.

Brendan Fraser is an amazing reader. I've liked him well enough in the various movies I've seen, but I had no idea I would enjoy this book so much more because of him. He has a pleasant voice which tells the story easily and blends well into the narration, allowing the many characters in this book to really attain a life of their own. His accents, tones and lilts are wonderful. It's so much simpler for me listening to a book this way, since I'm rarely sitting still while reading. The ability to differentiate between characters without having to rewind is invaluable.

I've enjoyed this book very much, more so than I did Inkheart, because of his reading. What a delightful surprise!

Still Fun

Unlike (and I know I bash Potter too much)Rowlings books, the second installation of Inkheart still held my interest. The world inside the book remains realistic and the characters, despite admitted dimensionality stay clever. If you liked the first one, this is realiably more of the same.

Great "read"

I looked forward to listening every chance I got. Fraser had slight inconsistencies in character voices but I can easily forgive that given his enthusiasm for the reading. The wide range of choices for the character voices, although a bit odd, made them interesting. I am reading Inkheart now - in book form. I would love to hear Redgrave's reading of the book, but I can't wait for this month's point.

wonderful

loved this! I was worried the second one would let me down from inkheart, but this was actually very well. I even wept. Time for the third one ♥️

Horrific narration

I absolutely love these stories, but this narrator‘s voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. In some places, he’s so monotone that I couldn’t bear it. In other places, such as when he is narrating Eleanor‘s voice, it’s so painful. It made my ears bleed. Why couldn’t you use Lynn Redgrave for this one just like the first one?I couldn’t even finish this audiobook because I couldn’t stand listening to this narrator any longer. I’m so disappointed this audiobook was ruined for me.
