But honestly, if you're looking for something that bears more than a slight resemblance to the book, you still may be disappointed by the omissions, rearrangements, and substitutions.

So.If you're a book fan and are unable to separate the literary story from a film adaptation, you WILL be disappointed. The elements I could not identify were never in the book. That's right, "book." It is actually NOT based on all three books, but rather, just as the title implies, the initial Inkheart. The movie itself is loosely based on Funke's book.

I'm glad I did not succumb to this temptation. When I saw the trailer, there were so many elements I could not place that I presumed this film would be some combination of all three books, and almost did not see it as I had not yet read the last book. Let me begin by saying I have read the book and most of the second.
