| I just read The thief Lord by Cornelia Funke, and I give it a 5/5 
It's very exciting, and the ending was great. There isn't one boring part, and you come to know the characters very well. It's about orphans who live in Italy, and "the thief lord," who is also a kid, sells all the objects he steals so he can pay to keep the orphans alive. Anyways, I liked it so much that I also borrowed Inkheart, by the same author. I recommend this book, it's by far the best book I've read so far

| Cornelia Funke's books are fantastic, I agree, spellbinding. They're must-reads. I've read Inkheart, too, and if you like it, make sure you get Inkspell, too.
I'm not sure if they released the final installment yet. I think the working title was Inkdeath...

| The only book I liked by that author was Dragon Rider. That book was awesome.
The Thief Lord was boring in my opinion. I read half of it and I just wasn't catching on.

| I agree with Goob, usually the action and excitement in a book kicks in at the middle of the story but I just didn't find it in this book.
It had an interesting storyline but I didn't have the urge to finish it after I read most of it.

| I've read, like, all of her books. I love them! The "Inkheart" series is my favorite.
