I am Finished!!

I am now done reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones!!
It is currently my favorite book right now because I just completely fell in love with it!!
The book was really different from the movie. Even though they were very different, I think that they were very enjoyable in their own ways. I think that the book was a lot more detailed though... Hayao Miyazaki took out a lot of scenes that I thought was very romantic.... :(
Still, I recommend everyone to read the book and watch the movie!!!~ While I was reading the book, I was beginning to worry that Howl was never going to fall in love with Sophie, but in the end, Howl proposed to Sophie in such a romantic way that I thought that I was going to cry!!!!!

"Howl said, 'I think we ought to live happily ever after,' and she thought he meant it. Sophie knew that living happily ever after wih Howl would be a good deal more eventful than any story made it sound, though she was determined to try."-pg 328

I thought that it was so romantic and it makes me feel so jealous of Sophie... :( In the end, Howl killed the Witch of the Waste and Sophie put an end to Calcifer and Howl's contract. Calcifer was free, but then he decided that he just wanted to stay because he made such close bonds with everyone. Howl and Sophie fell in love with each other, Sophie's curse was lifted and she became young again. Wizard Suliman and Lettie fell in love with each other too, and I thought that it was very romantic. The ending was very happy indeed, and it makes me want to read more!! There is a sequel to the book and it is called Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones. I can't wait to read it!!!

Hey Steph! I saw you blog in English so I wanted to see if you were updating your blog or not. I didn't really want to read your blog because I borrowed your "Howl's Moving Castle" but then I read your blog so... SOPHIE AND HOWL ARE TOGETHER!!! YAY!!! And I'm glad that Calcifer decided to stay with Sophie and Howl. He stayed with them in the movie too but I wasn't sure if that was what happened in the book too. Oh and who's Lettie? I forgot who that is... but I really like the quote you put in your blog! What book are you reading next?
