The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that Sophie's bizarrely casual attitude is maybe the most accurately translated thing from book to movie. Sophie does not gaf and Howl is a drama queen, I love them.

As a longtime lover of the movie, when I saw the audiobook available, I had to hop on it. This was so lovely and I appreciate how the book stands strong separate from the film. They are Not the same but seem like cookies from the same bakery. Adorable.
