El ángel más tonto del mundo by Omar El-Kashef Calabor, Christopher Moore

Thoroughly funny. I admit I had a bit of an issue adapting to the manner in which it was written at first, but once I got used to it, the story became just adorably funny. I'm definitely eager to read more from [author: Christopher Moore].

I read this book way back when I was young and loved it to bits. It tells funky stories of animals and their meetings with other animals and men.
I love re-reading it now and again.

Read it for school when I was little and loved it. Has several stories, all slightly creepy, and even one Japanese tale (Hoichi the Earless (耳なし芳一 Mimi-nashi Hōichi)).

I can't say how much I love this trilogy. I bought all three in a whim, and when I learned the author had previously only made children books, I thought I would be disappointed, but I was not.
I don't regret my purchase at all. It kept me hooked from beginning of the first book until the very end of the last book.
It's a sort of cavemen story, if you may, mixed in with fantasy.

They must be read in order. The three books describe in parts the main setting and troubles that arise, an all out war between good and evil, and it's resolution.

I admit I caught this book after watching the anime. I really love this book, even if it's meant for younger audiences, and it started me on reading [a: Diana Wynne Jones|4260|Diana Wynne Jones|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1193516584p2/4260.jpg]. The humor- the story, it's all just lovely and magical. It has some very funny moments, and I couldn't help but love Howl's character. I've read it once and again since I have it, I just can't get tired of it.

This is a sequel to [b:Howl's Moving Castle|6294|Howl's Moving Castle|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165560187s/6294.jpg|2001], and like it, it doesn't fail to deliver it's funny moments. The setting is slightly different, however, as it reminds you more of something just out of 1001 Nights. There's even appearances of characters from [b:Howl's Moving Castle|6294|Howl's Moving Castle|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165560187s/6294.jpg|2001], including Howl and Sophie themselves, however there is no real need to have read that book in order to fully enjoy this one.

Much like the first, I can't put it down for too long that I will be re-reading it.

This book contains sad yet heart warming stories. I wasn't too sure about it when I first picked it up, however I loved each story, and I found myself wanting to read more of each, and of the author.

El almohadón de plumas has got to be my favorite story of this book- I grabbed it because I had to read that story for school. It's an amazing, very creepy story.
