Nice work! I must admit Inkheart is on my bookshelf but hasn't made it into my reading pile yet, though I have read (and loved) Thief Lord by the same author. Must nudge it up the queue.
Thanks! I read The Thief Lord first, too. I thought it was great - like reading a live-action Disney film (with Bob Hoskins in, too), in the nicest possible sense!
Inkheart is marvellous, though - the ideal book for booklovers. It's a fantasy in which the only magic is books themselves - books, and words, and the imagination. It's the sort of children's book that ought to be read curled up on a window seat somewhere, with an old-fashioned hardback cover, if that makes sense. :-) (I love the interesting stuff in the sequels, too, but they're quite different in many ways.)
