I will openly admit that this book has it's flaws (there are a few leaps in character and story that lack development), but I really loved it. Sofie, the main character who has always been certain she will be a failure due to being the first born, has to set out on her own after mistaken identity causes her to be cursed with early old age. Her advanced years give her the courage and surliness to seek employment with the local "wicked" wizard, Howl, as a cleaning lady. There she live...more
Howl's Moving Castle is quirky and enchanting. Diana Wynne Jones' writing has an innocent wonder, humor, and subtle wisdom that is pure magic. I have read a shelf-full of her books and loved every one. This book not only didn't disappoint but was a delightful surprise. None of the characters is quite what they seem, even to themselves, and everything is in a lovely, chaotic mess.

I didn't know that there was a book to this movie and when i found out i had to read the book. I must say the i did find moments where i was haa that was like the movie but in the ending i was like that was nothing like the movie but either way i love both the movie and the book...I think i like the romance between Howl and sophie better in the book.. i'm weird like that.
absolutely adored the movie. absolutely loved the book! the book is quite different than the movie. in the back of my book, the author says she has one of the models of calcifer from the movie sitting in her fireplace. awesome.
This was an interesting unreal, magical story. It was nice to read and delve into that world a little, but it seemed really long (and apparently there are even more books after this one.) I think I just didn't get into the characters as much as some books. Still a pretty good book to read.
wasn't quite gripping enough, the fantasy was a little unbelievable - couldn't wait until I was done
Somewhat like the movie, but very different as well. I found it a fun, fast read.

Just got it in the mail. What a GORGEOUS book! My son absolutely loved it (even though he haven't seen the movie yet), he can't stop looking at the pictures.
This story increased my imagination, and just wish there were more sequels!:D
