Like several goodreads reviewers, I was inspired to read this book by the movie. And I can say I was not disappointed by either. This is a book that I will go back and read again and again because I know I missed much on the first reading. There is not a character in this book that I don't find comp...
My interest in Howl's Moving Castle originated from the publicity of the movie made by Hayao Miyazaki. Boy was I in for a surprise.I can see where the movie originated from, but this novel is witty and an artisan example of imagination and entwined storytelling. The characters are palpitating with ...
Man it has been a while since I have read anything. I read this with Kinnell. We finished it a few weeks ago. He was super into it. I was super into it. Neither of us had seen the movie NOR read any DWJ previously. Stylistically I was very into this book. It's kind of a mess? It's unclean, random th...
Such a weird and amazing read! Diana Wynne Jones takes standard fairy tale and fantasy elements--a girl coming of age, wizards, witches, shapeshifters, a scarecrow, demons, a questionable stepmother, castles, princes and kings--and does something utterly unique with them. I've never read anything li...
I admit I caught this book after watching the anime. I really love this book, even if it's meant for younger audiences, and it started me on reading [author: Diana Wynne Jones].

The setting is slightly different, however, as it reminds you more of something just out of 1001 Nights. There's even appearances of characters from Howl's Moving Castle, including Howl and Sophie t...

I am definitely in the minority here. I didn't find anything enjoyable about this book. I found it boring and the characters just boring and stupid. For absolutely no reason Sophie gets turned into a 90 year old woman by the scary Witch of the Waste. She accepts this like nothing has happened and j...
