Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite movies by Hayao Miyazaki and so I knew I was going to love this book too. 
 This book was so awesome and different and I liked that it wasn't a whole lot like the movie! I'm not going to say the book was better or that the movie was, because to me they are two completely different entities that can stand alone and apart from themselves, but I'm also glad that they are so different. After reading the book, I'm glad to have read more in depth about Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer and everyone else. Makes me want to go and re-watch the movie! 
 tl;dr 
 This book was awesome, I love it!
