This book is worth rereading again and again. I love Sophie and her crabbiness. I just sort of adore this book. That is all.

Better than the excellent movie

Very imaginative with wry nods to fairy tale conventions. Much deeper than the movie (which I did enjoy).

I agree that you should read every Diana Wynee Jones book you can find - my fav is Dogsbody.

Great

A great book to go along with the movie.

Love it

I completely adore this book. It is definitely among my favorite books of all time, if not my top favorite. It has all the things I love in books- adventure, fantasy, humor, with a dash of romance thrown in. Howl is absolutely adorable. (One of my favorite twists is definitely that he is actually Howell Jenkins in Wales. Well, besides the slime. The slime was amazing.) Yes, he's rather annoying at times, but in an endearing way. (Usually.)


Diana Wynne Jones was a genius, no question about it. All of her books are amazing, and definitely worth reading.
