Book Review of Howl's Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle

I picked up this book after seeing the movie, an anime directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and distributed by Disney (with american voice actors). The movie was good, but the book had a lot more depth (of course). I'm glad I saw the movie first, or else I would have been disappointed.

Yes, this is probably found in the "Children's Books" section, but there are quite a few confusing points and plot twists. Some of them you can see coming, but several of them you know there is a twist, but you don't expect the turn it takes.

A fun book, and pretty easy reading. If you are looking for a deep book, this is not the one. If you are looking for a book to share with your kids, this is a good choice. You'll both get something out of the book.
