I just saw that there’s no recension and therefore I feel obliged to write my mind down…ok now we already have a full description so I can skimp on that… I personally believe that this book is just overrated…by now I’ve read nearly the whole book and to be honest it wasn’t really gripping…the only interesting character here is Dustfinger, and the others…I don’t know… were just annoying…especially the main character Meggie…(I hate that name -.-)…but I shouldn’t be so negative, I have to admit that Cornelia Funke has a good style of writing…but it’s of course more a children’s book than a book for adults…so I don't really belong to the target group now feel free to lynch me :D
