Howl's Moving Castle is an enchanting story, rather like fairy tale.
Howl's Moving Castle is an enchanting story, rather like fairy tale. Howl's Moving Castle is about, Sophie a plucky young women, who is discontented with her boring life, working in a hat shop, until, she is cursed by the Witch of the Waste. Sophie goes on a journey to break the spell, she is under. On Sophie's journey she meets Howl. Howl's the powerful wizard that can break Sophie's curse. But its hard to break a curse that was put on you by the ancient powerful Witch of the Waste and to top it off you can't tell anyone about, because the curse prevents you. Howl's an sly, selfish, cowardly, and as vane as a peacock and you can't pin him down to anything. But with a plucky women like Sophie Howl had no chance, he had help her. In the end Sophie does not need to be saved by Howl because she saves him. This story of full of fairly tale like elements and interesting things like: magic, fire demons, moving castles, magic portals, missing princes, princess, curses, magical falling stars, magical disguises, heart less wizards, hopping scarecrows, seven league boots, and cloaks of invisibility. It is a excellent read and I would recommend this book to people who love fairy tale or fantasy stories.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Used Howl's Moving Castle
The book arrived quickly. It's a used book so wear/use was expected. The story itself is light hearted and fun. It is different than the movie but still entertaining. It fills in a few holes/questions the movie leaves you with.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Movie is better
This book is written for a third grade reading level. It has cute parts, but I think the film makes the characters a bit more likeable. That being said, I'm still glad I read this book. It's always fun to see the differences of film and book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Best cover
I did not like the book at all, all the things i liked about the movie was removed from the book and a hundred unneccecary things were added. The cover, however, was absolutely stunning and makes me want to display the book in my house had it not been such a stinging reminder of how wrong the book was to me.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
