Back Blurb:

   A breathtaking new vision of a legendary tale. Snow White is the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler  never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman who was dispatched to kill her.

My Review:

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

  Well, I did it! I read the book before I seen the movie. (Although if the book is based off the movie shouldn't I see the movie first? Food for thought....) Anyway, this book was really good! I'm not sure how well it follows the movie because, as I said, I haven't seen the movie yet. But I will! :P There is one thing, however, that I hope is different in the movie:

-More Romance-

  And I can see the shocked looked on your faces. ME, the girl who likes reading about blood and gore, is hollering for more romance! :) I'm not joking though! I think there was one kiss in the whole book. :O It was so sad. And I hope there's going to be sequel because I have to see who Snow White gets together with! 
  The writing didn't read well. It felt like the author rushed through everything to just get it over with. Some parts there wasn't enough describing and then in other parts there was too much. And the sentences felt a little choppy. But still this book was really good! I <3ed the remake of Snow White! Can't wait to see the movie! : D

Look what I got for you! A review!! ;)

INKHEART (book 1 of the Inkheart trilogy) by  CORNELIA FUNKE

Movie Rating: PG-13 for violence and frightening images; mild swearing scattered throughout

Book Rating: @@@@@

Swearing: There are a few instances of small swear words. Such as h*** and d*** Nothing huge.

Genre: Fantasy

Published By: Scholastic Inc.

Inappropriate Scenes: None

Back Blurb:  
    One cruel night, Meggie's father read aloud from Inkheart, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of the book, landing in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie's in the middle of the kind of adventure she thought only took place in fairy tales. Somehow she must master the magic that has
conjured up this nightmare. Can she change the course of the story that has changed her life forever?

My Review: 
     Inkheart is one of my favorite books! As soon as I started reading this book Cornelia Funke had me believing that a single voice-a Silvertongue-could bring a book character out from the pages of its own world and into ours. I didn't much care for Farid but I loved Meggie.  New York Times Bestseller Cornelia Funke has wriggled her way onto my favorite authors list for years to come! (and i must confess. i did sit on my bed and read aloud to see if I'm a Silvertoungue. I'm not... :( )
