i love the movie so much so when i found out it was a book i was super happy. Yes they both are extremely different but both are really good. Its like telling the same story but with different twists in both i don't know i just love it. I'm thinking about reading the sequel even tho the main characters for this book are very minor characters in the next. which actually pretty sucks.

Great great book!!!!!!!!!!! I actually watched the movie first and then checked out the book. Both were amazing! The movie is focused more on the MAGICAL aspects of the story while the book concentrates more on the LOVE STORY. But both are wonderful!!!! Check out Dianna Wynne Jones's other books! I'm reading "A Tale of Time City" right now. Great book!

I enjoyed this book so much, I'm a bit scared to watch the movie, since I hear the two are so different. I don't want the visuals from the movie to replace what the book conjured up in my head.... Fun and enjoyable and probably gives up more each time you read it - as soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it again, and see where the hints were as to the contract between Howl and Calcifer. But....so many books, so little time.... Definitely one to revisit, though.

A moving love story about loving who you are. If you've seen the movie you will love the book even more. Its great for people with big imaginations who love romance, fantasy and adventure. I loved this book as much as i loved the movie. It was just as funny and just as creative.

This is an amazing book! I've seen the movie and it's awesome, but the book just has so much more detail. It's very funny and I could visualize the scenes very well.

Coarse Language: Howl ejaculates "Hell's Teeth!", "Great Gods Above!", and "Damnation!" once each. Michael is mentioned swearing and Sophie angrily saying a bad word, but the words are not put in print. Calcifer says "Curses!"
