Criticism Out Of Books Howl's Moving Castle (Howl's Moving Castle #1)

Before Hayao Miyazaki made "Howl's Moving Castle" into a feature length animated film in 2006 (2004 if you saw it in Japan), it was a book written by Diana Wynne Jones in 1986. Due to the inherent difficulties of creating an animated film, Miyazaki greatly abridged and adjusted the plot of the novel for his movie. I happened to enjoy both film and novel but after reading the book I realized that the plot is extremely different in the novel--enough that the book and movie become completely

Delightful a'f, I don't know what more you could want in a whimsical fantasy-This book will appeal to every age group and gender. -It's simple yet extremely well plotted-You can read it in one sitting!-Doesn't rely on tropes at all, it's its own original story-You will feel joy throughout the entire bookI highly recommend this.

This was such an enchanting story!

I am so pleased to say I loved this book!This was exactly what I needed to read right now.

Being the eldest of three, she has accepted that she is destined for a life of utter mediocrity. When the infamous Witch of the Waste curses

This was awesome. It's delightful, thoughtful, and funny. The language is fantastic, with tons of witty turns of phrase. I liked Sophie's down-to-business attitude and perspective a lot. There are fun crossovers with our world and endlessly refreshing magical mischief. And all the moving pieces come together in one sweeping ending, which, just wow.I'm also not sure that this book could get published today. It's clearly middle grade but the character ages are all over the place. The main

It was a great movie, Hayao Miyazaki wrote and directed it as a loose adaptation of the book, as always I would imagine the book is superior, but the

Howl's lingers with me because of the humor, because of the perfectly executed twisting plot, because of the snapping dialog. Diana is possibly the best writer of her generation but because she wrote mainly YA in a time before HP she was disregarded. You want to know what I think a book should be like? Read this one.
