Creo que el libro y la película son dos clásicos que deben interpretarse como obras independientes la una de la otra. Miyazaki creó una obra que se basa y a la vez se diferencia enormemente de este texto original, lo que hace que el libro de Diana Wynne Jones brille por su propia esencia original a pesar de haber tenido una adaptación que incluso parece ser más conocida que el libro. La película es una de mis favoritas y, aún sabiendo que no era completamente fiel al libro en el que se basaba, leí la historia con la esperanza de que me hiciese sentir igual, ya que el romance es una de las cualidades que más aprecio de la película. No obstante, el romance toma un segundo plano en el libro para poner como protagonista este mundo tan mágico y fantástico que Diana Wynne Jones ideó con tanto cariño. Sin embargo, creo que el libro define a los personajes de una forma mucho más personal y auténtica que la película, puesto que la lectura deja entrever unos personajes mucho más redondos y singulares y con mucha más personalidad.

Definitely more going on than with a simple tween fantasy book. Enjoyable story and some nuanced layers of hints that may send you back to rerrad old sections. Engaging use of recurring themes and ideas. Also so much more enjoyable after discussion with a group

Decent children's book.
I was not expecting the Welsh Rugby club to be mentioned, but I took would escape to fantasy land where I can be wizard.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, it was a fun and quick read. I liked the characters, setting and magic system, I was just a bit bored by the actual plot in the second half.
incredibly fun to read but very hard to predict cause the “magic rules” weren’t very laid out. it read almost as a modern fairy tale crossed with alice in wonderland
