This was very enjoyable. The writing was superb. Witty and precise. The ending was the only disappointment but there were a few twists and turns to keep me guessing. I needed this after a series of duds. Rated B+ [4 stars].[...] |
I recently picked this (and the two sequels) up on special. After reading your success with it as a break from much less satisfying reads I thought I'd take it as a sign.
So...
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. I, too, found it very enjoyable. The end was somewhat predictable I suppose but I enjoyed it anyway. The style of the story-telling was interesting and distinctive, though it took a while for me to get comfortable with it. I like the way it seemed to turn into something quite chaotic and yet it never felt confusing and all the pieces came together quite well. 4/5 from me.
