		Bestselling children's writer Cornelia Funke loves the characters she creates, as her latest novel Dragon Rider shows, but sometimes she just has to be tough...
		Cornelia Funke was in London for a flying visit - flying, in every sense, seems to come naturally to her.
		Funke originally trained as a social worker, switched to book illustration and only became a writer because she was frustrated by the lack of decent narratives to illustrate (she still produces intricate pen-and-ink sketches for her novels).

		But if anything distinguishes the writing of Cornelia Funke, it is an ability to weave together her magical worlds, and the real world of ordinary people -- the one we all recognize.

		I also think that Cornelia Funke should be proud of herself because when you read Inkheart, or any other books by her you will be fasinated by how she has bought her characters to life just by words.

		Cornelia Funke gives such a good description of the characters that it feels as if they're standing right next to me. I also think it was wonderfull the way she decribed everything.

		Cornelia Funke's children's novel, The Thief Lord, is an odd duck.
		Thanks to Funke's adept writing, strong characterization, and some nice humourous touches, the result is that The Thief Lord is fun fluff, but you are left wondering how much better the book could have been if Funke had dug deeper.
		The way that Funke hints at Hornet's backstory through quick references, and subtle nuances in the girl's character develops a story in the reader's mind that is harsher than Funke could easily show.

		Although Inkheart is a long book (500+ pages), Funke establishes the thrills and the threat in the book's premise almost immediately, on a dark and stormy night and the day following when Meggie and her dad first try to make their escape.
		Clearly Funke is not a lightweight trying to cash in on the Harry Potter fantasy kick; she conveys her love of books and language in a way that will enthuse any reader from 8 to 80.
		Funke is at her strongest in the creation of her middling characters--Dustfinger, Meggie's aunt, and a young boy pulled from yet another novel in a "test run" for what is to be Mo's big work for Capricorn.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
		Cornelia Funke seems to have a gift for this: her previous, award-winning novel, The Thief Lord, opened up similarly towards its end.
		You get only tantalising glimpses of the book Fenoglio wrote (I suppose it is too much to expect Funke to write both books at once), but you gather that there are fairies, trolls, dire beasts and magic in it.
		When the villains are at last defeated and the denizens of the book tumble through into reality, it is quite disappointing to find them gaudy, small and trivial.

		"Funke delivers more than enough action, romance, tragedy, villainy and emotion to keep readers turning the pages — and waiting for the sequel the cliffhanger ending promises."
		In this sequel to Inkheart, Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, has a desperate need to return to the tale.

	Orange Splot: INKSPELL by Cornelia Funke
		Funke is a wonderful writer, I actually cried at the end of this story, and I rarely do that.
		The book is exciting and menacing, and you just don't know whether or not it will all come out right in the end--and in fact the story doesn't really end at the end--it will be hard to wait until the third book in the series is available.
		Highly recommended, and an added bonus is that Funke quotes from other books at the beginning of each chapter.
