Years ago, I watched the Japanese anime by Hayao Miyazaki made from this book. I loved the movie. And I loved the book, although it took me years to read it. Both book and movie are quirky and magical. In all my fantasy reading, I’ve never read anything quite like this story. If I applied artistic e...

I absolutely loved this book. As soon as I finished I wanted to start reading it again, and when I found out there's a movie, I got indecently excited! Half of the time I wasn't sure if it was a childrens book or not, but it didn't matter, because the story is fun and interesting and written in such...
Dur dur de détacher le film du livre pour le coup tellement le film m'avait marqué. Les deux sont assez différents mais se complètent en un sens, l'histoire ici creuse les personnages plus en profondeur, et crée un univers unique autour du château ambulant.

Worum geht's? Sophie ist die älteste von drei Schwestern und übernimmt gern Verantwortung, ja sieht es als ihre Aufgabe für andere und besonders ihre kleinen Schwestern Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Aus diesem Grund bleibt sie auch nach dem Tod des Vaters in dessen Hutmachergeschäft zurück, während i...
The first rating I gave to this book was a four star rating, but then a friend asked me what I had thought of that, and this...and if I had believed in something that had apparently happened....of which I had. (..) Turns out I was duped! Completely and totally duped! The author is probably laughing ...
