What made the experience of listening to Howl's Moving Castle the most enjoyable?
I watched the movie with my kids and was struck that some movie events did not relate to each other. A sure clue that the book has been selectively abridged for the screenplay. The book's story and movie actually are two entirely different stories that cover the same characters and some events. This book is great! The movie now disappoints, even though it was an Academy Award nom. Ghibli films are always well done, but Ms. Jones wrote a much better book!Nothing like the Movie-The book is so much better!

I already have. Because it's understated, but still really moves.What did you like best about this story?
Watching the characters grow without them realizing how they were changing.Which character – as performed by Jenny Sterlin – was your favorite?
Howl. He was hilarious--he never said anything nice, but was one of the kindest, wisest characters.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The happily ever after she was never looking for.Any additional comments?
I can't even remember why I bought this. I had never heard of it or the author before. But I love, love, love it. The characters, in a magical and unrealistic setting, are very real and accessible and likable. The plot is unexpected and exciting.Felt like an old fairy tale.
