 I loved all the characters - and honestly, I could read about the little adventures of Howl, Sophie, Michael and Calcifer forever and never get bored. Listened to the story on audio book and made it all the more fun. Ugh, I don't know what to say. I have never read a book that has made me laugh with tears in my eyes and feel so attached. I watched the studio Ghibli movie first, and honestly both are fantastic in their own ways. The book, however, is absolutely wonderful. 

 “Howl’s voice was presently heard shouting weakly, “Help me, someone! I’m dying from neglect up here!” I died on that line :)  Anyways, highly recommend.
