Just finished the most recent Cornelia Funke’s book, “Inkspell,” and I really enjoyed it. However she over uses the word “Incredulous” wayyyyyyyy too much. I mean the word shows up easily more than 50 times (at least once a chapter). This may not seem like a big deal but the word, which is too big for her target audience, is like a huge zit on someone’s face that is so huge you can’t help but looking at it. So whenever you come across the word it pulls you out of the story and you can’t help but think “DAMN she used it again!”

Oh and for those who don’t know, “Incredulous” means unwilling to admit or accept what is offered as true. Also the pic above is a screenshot from the movie adaptation of “Inkheart.”
