I think the athor theme is family is important. I think  this the theme because Meggie is trying to reunite to her parents and get out of the horrifing book. She ran away because she wanted to go into the book Inkheart.
Some other important charcters are Basta and Mortola because they are the bad guys in the story. They always try to kill Meggie, Dustfinger, and Resa. They will also kill anyone in their way.
A exciting event that happened was Slasher almost killed Dustfinger and Meggie. But Farid jumped on his back and threw in the fire.

What surprised me in this book was that Mo was still alive. He lived through a gunshot wound and  bleeding almost all his blood.
This book reminds me of the war going on in Iraq. Because in the book there is a war going on and the leaders are asking the citizens to fight this war. It also reminds me of gangs and milita because they are the ones fighting against their own country.
What I read today made me feel a little sad. It made me feel sad because a family is reunited and their not going to be together for a long time. It also made me feel a little intrested to find out what happens next.

If I could be any charcter in this book it would be DustFinger. DustFinger is the guy who cheats death multiple times and he can also control fire. The reason I would want to be DustFinger is because he is the masterious one. The one with all the tricks up his sleve. He is the one who makes everyone else look like the audiance waiting for him to pull something out.
The author crates suspense in this book by the close death encounters, the death expirences, and the fact it's in some crazy world made of ink and paper. A lot of the main charcters are close to death but at the last second they are saved. But sometimes their secrets are being kept and others dies because of that. Did I metion it's in a world made of paper and ink because some how the charcters just teleported in their. So that is why I think this book keeps me in suspense.
I think I would read another book by this author because she knows how to keep suspense. She writes her books in such detail that it feels like your there. She can also put a lot of "bumps in the road" So yeah that is why I think I would read another book  by her
