I believe that Howl's Moving Castle is an amazing film and this book helps me relive the experience of watching the film. I got into graphic novels from the Hayao Miyazaki books and films. I still am not interested in many of the books preteens and teenagers are into but I think these books are great. I am a teacher so I use them for my students who are learning English. The pictures tell much of the story and the dialog is not too difficult to read. I've seen the students get involved in the books and so have I! Highly recommended.
