Finally finished this novel; this one took me most of the school year. I suppose that means that Inkheart's plot just did not keep my attention. I initially began this novel at the recommendation of a student in my 8th Grade Literacy Lab class.
The most appealing aspect to me was the author's use of quotes at the beginning of each chapter; yes, all 59 chapters! Ah, the research, the time spent choosing just the right quote to match the content of the chapter, for each one did. Amazing! Great novel to use to illustrate those text-to-text connections!
Will I read Inkdeath, the next novel in this series? Of course! It is already sitting on my shelf to read. This one, I hope to read this summer...and much quicker!
