Review: Howl's Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Growing up I reads a few of Diana Wynne Jones' other novels, but I had not read this one. I love the anime movie that was made from the book, and when I picked up the book hoped that I would not regret reading this. I was surprised to find that the movie and the book were different enough that I could enjoy them both.

I would have loved this book if I had read it when I was in middle school. As an adult it was very good and worth reading. It just didn't have the depth and complexity I expected.

If you like the movie this book is worth giving a go. It is a light and enjoyable read.
