So I was excited to read the book, and though the book was great and all, I think overall I prefer the movie. The book tends to drag in some places, while they're waiting for certain things to happen, and like Esoteric I really appreciated how they wrapped up Dustfinger more in the movie. You're really not getting a whole lot more if you read the book, so I would generally recommend the movie over it. Also, the story ended in such a way that I don't really feel like I need to read the others, unless someone tells me that it's really good.

No, really though. The options seem to be mixed on which was better, but since this thread is called
The Inkheart Trilogy, and there was only
ONE movie... I'm just assuming this is for the books. >w<
-but "wrapping up" Dustfinger didn't solve anything. The book left you desiring more, because you
wanted to find out what becomes of him.
Over the course of the story, you cared about the well-being of the characters.
The movies ending was like "Meh, lets just wrap this up and give them a happy, semi-illogical ending." [/SIZE]
