Summary: Howl's Moving Castle
Review: Howl's Moving Castle by: Diana Wynne Jones

Can you imagine a moving castle? One castle that is big, horrifying, and that it leads to many different places. Here's a book called "Howls Moving Castle." This book is about a wizard called Howl who lives there. Howl is a wizard who cares a lot about his looks and likes to have several girlfriends. Even though this book is called "Howl's Moving Castle" it's not only about him. It is also about a teenage girl called Sophie who goes in seek of her fortune and ends up in the castle. This book is funny, adventurous, and I give it too thumbs up. Diana Wynne gives full descriptions of what is happening. This book is one of the most lovely book you'll ever read. If you want to find out about what happens to Sophie while she's in the castle and Howl, read this book to find out.

Summary: Howl's Moving Castle
Review: Can you imagine a world that has witches, wizards, moving castles, spells, and more witchcraft? I can because I have read books about such things. If you want to enter this world, you should read Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle.
This book is about a girl named Sophie that is the oldest of all three sisters. They all go and seek fortunes, she ends up in Howl's moving castle, after she is placed under a spell as an old lady. Most of the story takes place in Howl's moving castle. She stays there because she made a contract with a fire demon. She finds out that what the fire demon wants is to be free. She also saw that Calcifer (The fire demon) had something lumpy inside him when Howl picked him up to move the castle. After she asked him about it and he told her that it was Howl's heart, she knew that Calcifer always wanted to be free but not die.
Sophie wanted to be turned back to normal as soon as possible, too. Mrs. Pentstemmon (a witch) told Sophie that she could make inanimate objects become alive. After getting a scarecrow to speak, she learns what the witch(antagonist) is planning on doing next. Then Howl leaves to fight with the witch but something happens. If you want to discover if Sophie breaks the spell, you should read this book. I won't give away the ending, but in the end there is a lot of people apologizing and asking to be their wife or girlfriend.
I liked this book so much because it has to do with magic. I also liked it because this book reminds me of when my friend and I would fight most of the time like Sophie and Howl. I like most of the books that have to do with magic or witchcraft just like Howl's Moving Castle. People should read this book because it will teach them not to be so selfish, think they're all that, and learn to have courage. They should also read it because once they start they won't stop reading it just the way it happened to me when I read it. I even read it two times and I still wanted to read it again

Summary: Howl's Moving Castle
Review: Would you like to read a book that's full of adventure! Do you like magic and love? If you do than I have the book for you, It's Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. This book is one of the best books I ever read. Join nineteen year old Sophie Hatter in her home town of Market Chipping which was in Ingary, were anything could happen. Especially with Hols Moving castle being in a hill right on top of Market Chipping.
Sophie lived with her dad, stepmom, and two younger sisters Lettie and Martha. Until Sophie's dad died and they all had to go work and live in separate places. Sophie tired of a boring life goes of to look for adventure. But the evil Witch of the Waste puts an evil spell to make her an old woman.
Sophie goes of as an old woman and decides to knock on the door of Howls Moving Castle. Inside the Castle Sophie found new friends one of them was Michael Howls helper, and Calcifer a evil fire demon that isn't all that evil after all. Sophie also meats the great wizard Howl that is kind of mean but not evil. Sophie has a lot of adventures, meats a lot of new people, she uncovers many secrets and gets in a lot of trouble with Howl. Well, there are many more exciting things in this book but I won't tell you will have to read it on your own. And remember this is a great book!

Summary: Howl's Moving Castle
Review: Imagine a world with moving castles, witches and wizards fighting in the air, where young kids turn old, where people give a step that's ten miles long, one door takes you to four different places, and sticks that come to life! If you are one of those kids that loves to read adventure, mystery, stories about love and very magical, I know just the book you should read. The book is called 'Howl's Moving Castle' by Diana Wynne Jones.
I totally recommend this book because even though it's long it is better because you get more of this book, but the good thing is, it never gets boring! This is a book that once you touch you can never let go. Once you start reading it, you notice that every word you read gets more excited, more deep and that's what makes you not let go of this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Howl's Moving Castle Review
Review: Have you ever read or looked for a book with magic or many turning points? Well if you haven't found one, it's here so look no further. Howl's Moving Castle is a very good and exciting. I never heard of Diana Wynne Jones and now all I want is to read another book preferably having to do with Howl and his castle. My favorite character is Sophie she is this really nosy person that is really energetic for someone of her age.

If you've read this book you'll know that it is full of excitement and once you read it you can't put it down. Diana Wynne Jones throws something that grabs you attention, so that if you stop reading it you know you're going to miss out on a great part of the book. So if someone asked me if I would recommend this book I would have to say "yes, definitely". If you do read I just say enjoy because I sure enjoyed it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Light and Entertaining
Review: I first read this book in sixth grade, years ago, and I have loved it ever since. For anyone looking for a synopsis/summary, it is about the eldest of three sisters, Sophie, living in a land called Ingary. Sophie thinks that her life will be boring and predictable, but the introduction of a castle, a temperamental wizard named Howl, a fire-demon named Calcifer, and the Witch of the Waste ensure the opposite. Sophie becomes directly entangled in the whole business by a curse put on her by the Witch of the Waste.

I think that I have given away too much already, so I'll only say now that Jones does a fine job of pulling together an intricately and beautifully woven plot. If you read it, you will enjoy it, and I recommend Castle in the Air (title correct?)afterward if you want to see a little more of Sophie and Howl, though Howl's Moving Castle was the better of the two. If you like fantasy with a twist, you'll like this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: I am a 13 year old reader, and I thought that this book was fabulous. it was so well written, and original in the story book. It gives so many details along the way, and you really get into the story. This has been my favorit book yet. I would reccomend it to any young reader. I read it faster than any other book yet! I just can't give it enough applause. Sophie is well characterized so you can actually relate to the character, which I like in the book. It is very much a fantasy book, yet you would still enjoy it if you don't like fantasy. All I can say is WOW!
