Inkheart - Cornelia Funke

I have just finished the "Ink" Trilogy by Cornelia Funke. The books in order : Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath. Here's the plot :
Meggie’s father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book’s wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie’s mother in.
Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!
Thus it begins.......
Inkheart is a must read. Cornelia Funke was a genius to think this up.
There is some language in the all of them, the most in Inkspell. The violence is not graphic, but they do talk about torturing methods a tiny bit in Inkdeath. And there is some kissing.
My favorite characters are Meggie,Dustfinger,Farid,Gwin,and Doria.But there are tons more characters that are really good.And the bad guys are very bad. It has a twist on all fantasy books,and I definitely recommend this. 5/5 stars.
