Can the description be more Clear Please !!, March 8, 2009
I assume this item for sale containse all 3 Inkheart books, but the description is very unclear. Slipcase X3 ?? Come on!
How about clearly stating that this comes with all 3 books, and what their titles are. I don't think I'm the only one who is hesitant about spending [...] bucks when it's not exactly clear what your purchasing !
I'll change my review once I've read the books. But I won't be purchasing this "Slipcase" until I'm sure what it is.

Great series, excellent reading, February 9, 2010
The Inkheart trilogy is, put simply, wonderful. I picked up the first book after a recommendation, and tore through it, enchanted by the vivid imagery, intricate plot, and incredibly lifelike characters. The writing is smooth and vibrant, and the passionate love of books shared by Meggie and Mo is infectious. The villains are well-crafted as well; Capricorn, Basta and Mortola, the cruel antagonists of the story, are leagues above the stereotypical baddies found so often in fantasy fiction. The second and third books carry on the story fluidly, and the plot grows more complex as the series progresses. If you're planning on giving these books to a child or teen, be aware that the story does get darker, and the third book seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience than the first two.
if you're looking for a series with strong characters, a unique plot and clever writing, then the Inkheart trilogy is what you want!

Popular youth fantasy, March 3, 2009
Now a motion picture. Lots of changes in the movie to Americanize it. Exciting set of books, which didn't need Americanizing. Many fascinating characters, including a really villainous villain. The premise, being able to read things into existance,is very exciting in itself.
