xeni 's review for:
Howl's Moving Castle
by Diana Wynne Jones
I actually quite liked this book a lot more than the film! Mainly because (unlike the film) the book is straight-forward, has a fun plot, and it's easy enough to take events as they come. The movie was just so... annoying, actually.
The main difference is that the movie has a huge plot addition, namely, the big war that takes place between the nations and that Howl gets caught up in. The book keeps things simple (well, simpleR). This is just another instance of wonderful writing on the part of Diana Wynn Jones!
Without getting much further into it, I adored the characters, could believe in the magic, and really enjoyed consuming the novel in under 24 hours!
