When was the last time you read it?
Actual stars: 4
Format: audio, libby
What I liked: Last week a customer in the bookstore asked when the last time I read Howl's Moving Castle was. I'm thinking I was like 9, so it's been awhile. She told me she had just re-read it and liked it even more now. I have to agree. Somehow in this simple story, there is more character development and story happening just below the surface than most adult books I read. Maybe it is just the nostalgia talking, but I loved this wholeheartedly.
What I didn't like: Honestly, I didn't dislike anything. Plus this new cover is a million times better than the one the book had when I was a kid.
Who I'm recommending this to: Everyone. If you're an adult, you need to re-read. If you're a kid who likes fantasy, you need to read. This is really great for that good reader who isn't ready for more complicated YA stories yet.
