Inkspell
Finished 
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke, audio version narrated by Brendan Fraser, on the ride home from work tonight. I have to say I didn't like the reading, and it took me a couple of CDs before I really fell into the story (and even then, some of the voices he did just bothered me). But the story itself was good and I think overall I liked it much better than the first (which Lisa T reminded me was disappointing since we had such high hopes for a book where people get to pop into other books... but looking back to my blog entry from 12/04 I guess I liked it at the time.)
This one definitely leads right into a sequel, so hopefully the story will continue!
And it looks like they'll be making a movie version of Inkheart, due out Spring '07.
"This time Dustfinger (the fire-eater/book character who came to life) returns to the pages of the Inkheart book from whence he came, and Meggie gets magically-and literally-caught inside the story, too."
