Inkheart

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Has anyone read the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke, or seen the movie based on the first book?

I wasn't holding out much hope for the movie, since children's fantasy literature rarely gets translated well to screen. But it surprised me by being incredibly good! Most of the characters were just as I had imagined them, and the few that weren't soon grew on me.

If you need a clean, book-loving fantasy adventure, I highly recommend both book and movie.
