Yes, it is. Not that it's bad or anything -- it just allows to read the entire book again a month later. XD
I haven't *watched* "Howl's Moving Castle". I have a lot of problems with Miyazaki, and while he might be a really good director, he wasn't the one should've done HMC. Miyazaki has a very realist way of portraying things, but the surrealism of HMC should be a little more colourful than what Miyazaki can give.
I suppose that once I've seperated the film from the book, I might enjoy the film. I hear it's great, and I hear that it's different from book!HMC. But it's not DWJ "Howl's Moving Castle", which is my favourite book. {Not that I exactly remember what HAPPENS in it. I just know that it's my favourite book.} The plain fact that the film has been done is amazing -- trying to translate the verb 'hobble' to the screen is just mind boggling.
{"The Nine Lives of Christian Chant" might work well on screen under the correct directing. Everything gets explained.}
Must hunt more DWJ books. :( I've only read three.
