A review by heartscomma
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

4.0

warning! Howl isn't quite much of a gentleman in the book. anyways—

I founf the book more whimsical than magical as it is in the movie. it's a bit different too compared, as mentioned by the author in the last few pages. personalities of the characters seemingly makes more sense—snappy old Sophie is the eldest sister of three, dramatic Howl is a narcissist, in a way, and Calcifer is a fire demon that the illustrations depict him as an old man, which makes sense on how whiny he is. 

I love the storytellig behind the falling stars and how
Calcifer was one
. an intriguing bit of the story and makes me want to watch the movie with that new anecdote in mind.

a light read, overall! I think I'll be rewatching Howl's Moving Castle (yet again) tonight!
