Howl's Moving Castle

[vivdunstan]

I'm newly reading "Howl's Moving Castle" for the book club I'm in. Never read it, despite reading many Diana Wynne Jones books before. Also never seen the Studio Ghibli movie. However I plan to rectify that after reading the book! The movie is on Netflix, which we have. I was browsing a graphic novel version (volume 1 of 4) of the story this morning in Waterstones, using the images from the film. Managed to resist buying that. But then this afternoon found there is a playing card set based on it (I collect playing cards). Oops. Oh and I plan to watch the movie with the English language dub. The lead voice actor is Jean Simmons, who is one of my favourite acting folks of all time.

The move is good (as is the book), but don't expect the stories to be identical.

Thanks, yes I've been warned by that. Including by fellow book club members who have seen the movie before, and some of which are finding the book too different. I am looking forward to watching it soon :)
