At least no one can accuse me of not having read this book now. Howl's Moving Castle is probably the single most popular piece of children's fantasy, right after Harry Potter of course. I've heard endless praise for this series ever since it was first released but, for some reason or the other, I wa...
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones was wonderful. I have a penchant for flawed protagonists and this book did not let me down. I had a few complaints, but over all the story was engaging, descriptive, and original. Just a warning for those of you coming here from the Miyazaki film: With the e...
I can't believe I've never read this before (actually, this is my first by Diana Wynne Jones, a fact that I'm a little ashamed to admit!)This was awesome! I love the humor, and the characters all just perfection. The entire book, the setting, the characters, the plot were all quirky and strange and ...

Kennt jemand den Animationsfilm Das wandelnde Schloss? Ich bin ja ein großer Fan der Studio Ghibli Filme. Ein anderer Favorit von mir ist Chihiro's Reise ins Wunderland. Das wandelnde Schloss jedenfalls hat eine Buchvorlage, wie ich erst eine ganze Weile nachdem ich den Film gesehen hatte, herausgef...
More like a 3.5-ish?That summary wasn’t lying about this book being a jigsaw puzzle. I found the book a bit confusing to say the least. Each chapter felt a bit episodic in nature and and was a bit slow moving towards the larger story. I guess normally that’s not a huge deal but I was reading the bo...
I'm sure I read this ages ago, but it was nice to listen to. Jone's quirky fantasy has her heroine in disguise (under a curse) as an old lady who continues on her adventure despite the fact that it never works out for the eldest child.
