3rd time re-reading this book. This is my first re-read of the year and still enjoy this book very much. I have watched Howl's Moving Castle that the book was an inspiration for. Compared to the book yes it was different but still had the same concept that the story was going for and a good read if you liked watched Howl's Moving Castle as much as I did when it first came out.
