I knew about this book (mostly because there was a movie, too), but it wasn't until I started putting together a "Neil Gaiman Recommends It" reading list that I finally bought it. Irrespective of the fact that I bought it about five years ago and only just now got around to reading it, that's a pre...
I’ve heard of this book (and Diana Wynne Jones) before but I’d never read any of her work. Jones was on Mt. TBR but I pushed Howl’s Moving Castle up because it was picked to be a book club group read. WOW! I really loved this book. It’s a quite the page turner. I loved it so much that I purchase...
There are a number of good things you can say about a book. It might have a richly imagined world, fully realized and engaging characters, an intricate and fascinating plot, even a really great cover. But the thing I love most about "Howl's Moving Castle" is one of the rarer bits of praise I can off...
Lyn: Okay, I have to know - what did you think of this pick?Kara: I liked it quite a bit. I thought it was incredibly inventive, and I had a lot of fun reading it. I thought the world-building was a lot of fun, and though it didn’t always make sense, it was a fantasy world so as long as you can susp...
I first stumbled across Howl's Moving Castle at my local libary. I was about 10 or 11 from there started a life long love affair with this book. This is one of my all time favorite books. IT It has everything I could ever want in a book. romance, humor, adventure and most importantly magic. I highl...
Re-reading an old favorite! This book is pretty much the definition of "charming". I'm taking a hand lettering class, and chose to make this book the topic--we'll see how it goes!
This is a wonderful, magical book in several senses of the words (although, sadly, I don't think there any actual spells contained within it). I loved Sophie, and Howl, and Calcifer, and all the other myriad characters. The anime film version of Howl's Moving Castle was already a favourite of mine...
I've watched the anime movie a couple (dozen) times already so I thought I might as well read it. For those who only watched it, you're in for a treat. There were so many ways that he anime plot veered off from the original storytelling and where the movie itself was confusing as hell, the book just...
Having recently watched the movie loosely based on this I decided a revisit was necessary. While they share a lot of plot points and character traits they have some differences (there are parts of the book that are a lot darker and there isn't such an overshadowing of war in the book). They're bot...
