Anybody here read Tamora Pierce?

The Circle of Magic books? The latest one, The Will of the Empress?


She's got one of the Circle in a same-sex romance.

Isn't it? I want to do a post on Howl's Moving Castle, the film, and how it should be mightily appreciated for what it is, because NOBODY could ever fit a complete DWJ book into a film.

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.

The film has the basic storyline there, without having quite the level of humor that Jones does so well. (Yeah, I really do wanna make that post. ^_^ )

I'd so totally read that post, if only to convince me whether it's worth watching or not. {Is it?}
