I think it's time for me to stop reading Diana Wynne Jones books. They're all just kinda boring to me, and I just read them because I own a lot of them, and because they're fast reads.

This is my new favorite book. I'm still sobbing. I just loved it so much. I did watch the movie before reading the book, but I loved both. The book made me cry a lot, mostly because of all the Star Wars references.

I liked the story more than Howl's Moving Castle, but there were a lot of weird comments in this book. I mean, it is older, so that's probably why. It just caught me off guard sometimes.

I've never had this as assigned reading for school, but this is really a good book for teenagers to read. I loved it.
