Query: Very Disappointing

After Cornelia Funke wrote The Theif Lord, I was expecting even better for this book. And I shouldn't have. Thief Lord was one of the better books of the new millenium. But reading Inkheart, I would've been disappointed even if Cornelia Funke WASN'T my home girl. Which she's not anymore.Meg and her father have barely any, if not, no special charachteristics. They each could be anybody. Somewhat like a fan ficition story, or pretending to be a rock star you know nothing about. If I was Cornelia Funke, I'd be writing a follow-up to the Thief Lord to regain my fans. Which hopefully, she's doing.
