I heard rumor a month or so back that Hiyao Miyazake has been recruited to direct an anime version of the book, which therefore might be out in a few years if anything becomes of it. I had this in mind while I was reading it and I was pleased and relieved to feel that not only could it make a decent movie, but if anyone could do it justice, I think he could.

I read a slew of DWJ books on this trip, including the sequel to Howl, Castles in the Air</i, which was decent, but not as good as the original. It worked very nicely as a sequel, however. I want to reread both, now that I know how they end, so I can see how she constructs the stories.
