Title: THE Reason I'm a fan of Diana Wynne Jones
Review: If you want fantasy that takes itself seriously AND maintains a lively sense of wit and humor, then I can do nothing better than recommend to you Howl's Moving Castle. I read the book after seeing the Miyazaki animated film adaptation and found that the book holds its own and then some. I have read it several times now, and each time it still makes me laugh. The story is fast-paced, sometimes sly, and full of classic moments-- such as when Howl returns home from his rugby club reunion, rather soused, and falls *up* the stairs proclaiming, "Me? I assure you, friends, I am cone sold stober." Magical and a bit maniacal, Howl's Moving Castle is a fine read for all ages. Highly recommended!
