Written by Cornelia funke. The book is awesome. Its a story within a story. It's one of the very few books i've ever bothered rereading. I love it for its complex story and how it flows with all the twists and turns. Everytime i read it I find out new things.

I want to know who else has read this book and what thier experience of it was
I have not however read the other books in the series. Are they as good as the first? and what about the movie? I haven't seen that. Book based movies frighten me. I always expect them to ruin it. WHat say you?
