    This is part of a multiple shipment. There was a question about one item in the package, which was resolved, so the package arrived later than expected. However, it was well packed and arrived in great shape. The movies contained were exactly what I ordered, and all as described or better. I give 5 stars all round, including for shipping time, because of the reason behind it. It all leads to great service. Communication is excellent; variety, price & quality also. I highly recommend this seller.

    Howl's Moving Castle is an enchanting story, rather like fairy tale.

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 ...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Best book ever

    The quality was better than expected, and as always I love this book. If you enjoy the Studio Ghibli version, you've got to read the book too!
