Is this the next Harry Potter? Not quite, but the memorable characters and fantastical yet realistic plot make it one of those "Your niece should read this" kind of books. Now a complete trilogy, the Inkheart series is well written and includes a little something for lovers of high quality young adult fiction.

Well I just finished reading this book for the second time....almost 20 years apart....or at least that's what it feels like. It's amazing how the universe puts books in your hand that you must read. I couldn't even get thru it the first time around. This time I could not put it down. It's a biography written by one of my favorite authors. Its amazing how much I learned about myself by reading her life lessons. Loved it.
i sense a lot of sei shonagon's bite and a lot of really sexy sex. goodgoodgood.

Oh, Palimpsest. I still don’t think I can pronounce you correctly and this book left me exhausted, a bit confused and more than a little disturbed. Another review described Palimpsest as “clockpunk” which I misread as “cockpunk”. Honestly, I think cockpunk is fitting for this book. A dream city that haunts the days of its visitors, sexually transmitted tattoos of a maze of city streets that grant access only to what’s pictured, leading those addicted to the dark mysteries to seek out others to see more of the city. This book is sort of one long drug-trip combined with lots of completely unsexy sex and a seductive narrative that leads you in fruitless circles without you realizing or really caring that the whole thing is sort of disturbing and nonsensical. I begin to understand the appeal of Lovecraft as far as completely enveloping worlds that may never be easily explainable or even comprehensible. Beautifully written book with vivid imagery, a lush mysterious world, and realistically flawed characters floundering about trying to navigate this dream world. This book has sex upon sex upon sex and it is by in large the most uncomfortable collection of sad, lonely, and need-driven coupling you will ever read. Even within the dream city, things are luridly oversexual, but in a way that is more ominous than titillating. All of that – and this book makes almost no sense. I loved so much of it for how aggressively bizarre and sometimes compellingly uncomfortable it is – but I also spent much of the book feeling like I wasn’t nearly drunk enough to really enjoy it but also like I was slightly word-drunk and drifting. The world here is compelling and really interesting. Enchanting but with an undertone of menace that reminded me of Labyrinth or Neverending Story. But in the end – I just couldn’t finish this one. Perhaps I’ll have to try again another time.
not as memorable as others but still fantastic
Throughly enjoyed reading this book but was consumed by the pictures even more. House and furnishing styles throughout Central Europe are displayed. This includes Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Trieste. Since the book was published in 1994 and probably photographed in 93, it was done soon after the collapse of the soviet system. The pictures chosen really seem to display the lives of the people. I had not known there was an open air museum near Salzburg, but I do now. What I really like is the mix of houses from the average person and a few famous people.
REad when it came out. Need to re-read. This author has become a favorite of mine. If I remember rightly, homeopathy plays a large part in this plot.
This is my first time reading an original ( well, translated but...) Icelandic myth, and though I want to say I love it...it is honestly very dry so far. I want to like Gunnlaug, but I can't help be reminded of High School Musical by his constant bursting out in song when faced with difficulties. Don't blame me. My little cousin made me watch it with her. Anyway. There are also a lot of names. I like Tolkien, so I'm used to someone being introduced with their entire family tree, but still, it does get a bit tedious. There also isn't much of a story so far: it's just Gunnlaug, a young man who, to prove his worth as an adult and be allowed to mary his love Helga, travels around, sings songs for everyone and occasionally fights people. Thorstein's vision does point into a dramatic love-story direction, but there isn't much of a love story so far. I mean, Helga is introduced by name only. We know she is "fair" and that's that. I hope her personality becomes at least more than a name only later on, but I don't really expect it to. Still, this is an interesting read at least, if not the most enjoyable.

It is hard to believe that this story is true, but even harder to believe that Watson made it up. It is a haunting, beautiful, captivating book that opens up the vistas of human experience shut off to us by religion and modernity.
