'I don't think I've ever read anything that conveys so well the joys, terrors and pitfalls of reading' Diana Wynne Jones Meggie loves books. So does her father, Mo, a bookbinder, although he has never read aloud to her since her mother mysteriously disappeared. They live quietly until the night a stranger knocks at their door. He has come with a warning that forces Mo to reveal an extraordinary secret - a storytelling secret that will change their lives for ever. Also a major film starring Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany and Brendan Fraser! Review: If I could give it a million stars I’d do it in a heartbeat - This book. THIS.BOOK. It was my favourite as a child. My absolute favourite and I’m so happy to have it again—especially in this stunning edition. Despite being a children’s book, I feel like the writing is so beyond that. It’s gorgeous, and Cornelia Funke is an absolute master of storytelling. I admit, I was scared, being in my 20’s now, that this book wouldn’t live up to my memories and that I’d surpassed being part of the audience for it. That it would read too young. No. It seems I was worrying for nothing. Inkheart is SO accessible and has such rich, vivacious writing I struggled to put it down and stop reading. If you’re going to buy anything anytime soon, please let it be this. You won’t be disappointed. Review: Enthralling - We’re reading this book to our year 4 class at school and I decided to buy it and read ahead as I was so intrigued by the book from the first chapter. It’s an enthralling story, I always wanted to find out what happened next and found the writing style unflavoured and effective. It’s quite a dark story, pretty menacing in places, great if you like a tale with twists and turns and characters you can really get to know and like (or in some cases, dislike!). As a 45 year old who’s been a keen reader all her life, the premise of the story is fascinating. I’d recommend it to any young person or an adult who’d enjoy a diverting piece of storytelling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 899,335 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7 in Magic 82 in Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths for Children (Books) 296 in Fantasy for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,644 Reviews | ## Images ![Inkheart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vuaokTaUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give it a million stars I’d do it in a heartbeat *by E***N on 30 September 2023* This book.

It kept me entertained over my lunchbreak and I liked many of the ideas in it. The notion that someone can read characters out of a book. It's probably something many readers have thought about in their subconscious. Sometimes it's impossible to believe that made up characters aren't real, or you ache because they are in your imagination and not in 3D. I loved the quotations from other books at the start of each chapter and they made me want to seek them out and read them too. I enjoyed crusty great aunt Elinor and horned marten Gwin. As far as the story went, I felt it was a bit of a let down and could have been so much more imaginitive than it was. It was like being in the middle of one of those repetitive nightmares where you're being chased and never caught, and everything goes round in circles. Basta and Capricorn made constant threats but never did more than that onstage and it just became boring in the end. You knew every scene Basta was in, he was either going to put a knife to someone's throat or threaten to chop off their hands and then not follow through. Not that I'm advocating a children's novel full of blood and gore, but the constant threat followed by nothing just became annoying eventually. The ending could have been lingered over a bit more and made a lot more dramatic, but I suppose it passed muster. I am looking forward to seeing the film and hoping it has more spark. Verdict. A just above average, mildly enjoyable fantasy novel. Three and a half stars rounded up to four and 7 out of 10. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50237474-inkheart](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50237474-inkheart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
