Did you like the film of Inkheart? I know it was a little different but i always like to know if the author loved or liked the film adaption of there work

I did like some things about it - Paul Bettany first of all as Dustfinger. Jim Broadbent (though Fenoglio should be Italian)....I didn't like the whole Capricorn setting (despite Serkis being brilliant) it felt unreal, staged - the misunderstanding that things coming out of a book can't be real. I also didn't like that this is suddenly the story of a man looking for his wife instead a father protecting his daughter. I think Helen Mirren is very wrong as Elinor ( although she is of course brilliant s well)
In short: books are flying carpets, movies mostly shrink them into napkins. The shrinking for this one was done with passion and many brilliant artists, but sadly it's still a napkin.

Hi Cornelia, I was wondering if your second Mirrorworld novel, Fearless, had an illustrated version? I love my copy of Reckless with all of the artwork at the beginning of each chapter, as well as the Inkworld novels with pictures at the end of each chapter! If not, have you thought of doing so? I can imagine it is A LOT of work, and I am aware that you published Heartless (more work), but I was just curious. Thanks!
