This reread and it was still a great book. This time I could see all the pieces as they came together, and also track Sophie's emotional journey as she makes friends with Michael and starts to care for Howl.

This book was an absolute delight! I loved the quirkily flawed characters and the odd way that magic works in their world. Definitely one of my all-time favorite reads, Howl's Moving Castle is pure fun.

I love this book. I read this book whenever I need a comfort read. The imagery is beautiful, and the characters are so real to me. I love how the magic is treated like a science, how sometimes you get the feeling it is science, and how the mundane world and the magical world collide. I think Diana Wynne Jones is a wonderful author, and thank my friend Beth for getting me started on her work.
Lovely book! Calcifer is always my favorite :D
This magical book was a delightful read. Quick paced and energetic, there was not a moment to spare between Howl's antics and Sophie's temper. And sweet Calcifer. Fantastic!!!
