Fun fantasy story with tons of twists and turns. Enjoyed the audiobook and looking forward to watching the movie!

I love this si much I’m going to cry! Howl and Sophie make my heart sing and I love that we got so much banter out of them. I can’t wait for the rest of the books

According to Goodreads, I read this book in 2012. And gave it three stars.

The trouble is, I have no memory of reading it before. I've seen the Miyazaki adaptation, so some of the characters and settings were familiar to me from that, but all the elements of the novel that are different from the film were new to me. I feel as confused as Percival!

Well, if I did read it, and wholly forgot it, I can't be upset, because I enjoyed the experience of reading it for the first time. As evidenced by the fact I gave it another star this time. XD

I enjoyed this book more than the movie. The book definitely had more details that would have been good in the movie. This book had the perfect mix of magic, paranormal beings, and love. The ending was my favorite. I loved how Howl wanted to spend the rest of his life with Sophie.
