Howl's Moving Castle: Finished.
Freewrite:
It took me about two weeks to finish Howl's Moving Castle. After doing so, I watched the movie, and I realized from the first ten minutes that the movie was going to be drastically different from the book. While I read, I visualized the story, and my visualization and the movie were completely different. Maybe it's because the director and I interpreted details differently, or because thats just how our imaginations took us. The book introduces a character, " Miss Agnorian" and the movie has no mentions of her. While the book and movie share the Witch of the Wastes, the main antagonist, she wasn't the only culprit that tried to sabotage Sophie.
I thought that Howl's Moving Castle was an easy book to read, and I didn't end up learning new vocabulary from it, but it was entertaining and fun. At the start, it gave me a Harry Potter feel, and I thought that a wizard or witch with wands and spells would be after the life of the 'good' character. But as I read on, the plot developed differently from the Harry Potter series. I shouldn't expect every fantasy book to have a Harry Potter theme inside, but I do now, because I'm so used to reading those types of fantasy books.
I am currently reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Of course the movie was different. Miyazaki has never baised one of his movies on a book before so yeah. And even though the book was not really hard to read it was fun like you said. Still I didn't finish the book yet. It will take me a while. So yeah....but anyway glad you liked the book.
Urghh. I hate when movies stray from the books, and when the movies mess up little details in the book.
Everyone says "Howl's Moving Castle" was good. I must read it!
Ehh. I would never read "The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien. I watched the movie, and I got confused, but who knows maybe the book is different?
lol I remember when we were watching the movie and you were like "What...?"
You imagined the castle to be all magnificant and all when it was like a piece of junk :P
Glad you liked the book and read the sequel!

I kinda agree, sometimes books are better because it allows your imagination to like.. go free ><" But i like movies better because there's more drama in it =D, and besides it was like only a few details that they left out (despite leaving out a whole character >~<") I also see your reading a cool book xD hope you enjoy it >~< .. btw ur blog is more informative than mine T.T keep it up ^^"
