Is the book as good as the movie?

Yes, but in a very different way. It's not hugely descriptive (being a kids book), but unlike the film it's super tight in plotting.

But it isn't a good movie.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible childhood.

I'm sorry you think that excuses your shit taste.

Visually it's a remarkable example of animations but the story in the film is lacking. Diana Wynne Jones is a great author all her books were great. She lived near me before she died and damn son was she crazy

it's a decent movie that is unfortunately overshadowed by other Miyazaki films.

I think the book is alright. I haven't read any other DWJ so i might not have the context but it's a pretty average children's story imo.

The last 20-30 minutes of the movie make absolutely no sense. It's honestly one of the worst rushed ending I've ever seen in a film.

Seeing as the movie isn't very good, yes.

I'm a Miyazaki fan but Howl's Moving Castle is a culmination of his most prominent flaws.
