This is the dumbest, most insane, most drug fueled book I have ever read in my entire life. I swear the god the author was tripping HARD when he wrote this shit. Like, this man was on every single drug known to mankind all at once.
And I fucking love it. Now, imagine me showing this anime to my 70 year old grandma.
โ ๏ธ WARNING! This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. I also cuss a lot. I am not a professional reviewer. I just read books and tell my thoughts about them, whatever they may be.
Let me start by saying that this is one of my FAVORITE movies and I didn’t know until recently that it even had a book version. Inwas quite excited but also quite worried knowing the track record with book versus movie. Now, it has been a LONG time since I watched the movie and my memory is quite trash so I don’t remember much of what happened but, after finishing the book, I feel as if the stories are quite different yet still the same – like alternate universes. Both are equally amazing, in my opinion, and I don’t believe one is better or worse than the other. I do have a strong desire to rewatch the movie though haha
Sophie is a very likeable character and I fell more in love with her after reading the book. Howl doesn’t seem quite as charming to me in the book, but Calcifer is still amazing and easily my favorite character ๐ฅ โฅ
I didn’t take notes about this book as I read it. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but inreally have no complaints. Maybe I am biased because of my love for the movie, but I thought it was a wonderful read and I found myself smiling at the end. Though I was surprised that Miss Angorian was the demon – I wasn’t shocked by it, but it did surprise me. I’m also quite tired as I finished the book, so that might contribute to my lack of surprise.
Overall, I think this book is wonderful and I highly recommend giving it a go. You should also watch the movie because it’s chef’s kiss โบ๐ค๐
I’m not sure how this counts as a book, but I really enjoyed this. The voice acting was phenomenal, the plot was intriguing and, while I usually hate female leads, this one didn’t annoy me at all. I liked her, even. I don’t like the ending because now I want more lol But I tried searching for a second part and found none. I’d also like to purchase a book version of this if it’s ever released!
I struggled to put this story down even when I was exhausted. I was hooked from the beginning and just wanted to know what happened next. It’s not just someone reading the story, it’s full voice acted and it’s done so well, I know what everyone is doing without them even having to say it. It’s like… listening to a TV show. That CAN be frustrating, though, because I kept looking over at my phone to see what was happening only to remember it’s audio only haha
This should be a TV series or a movie. It’s just too good not to be.
The only thing I knew about this story is that “here’s Johnny!” meme where he sticks his face through the door. I’ve wanted to experience this book for a long time and, well… I can say with 100% certainty that this story is way too overhyped. I expected more and was left very disappointed.
This story is way too long and very boring. It was a struggle to stay focused instead of zoning out or nodding off. Both of the parents are annoying as hell, too. The sexual shit is completely unnecessary and only degrades an already bad story. I mean, look at this:

Absolutely brilliant.
This story is insane, especially as someone who suffers from mental illness. These women are incredible and it’s hard for me to think that they would spend YEARS fighting this for people they never met or knew. To them, these weren’t just crazies locked up in asylum. To them, they were human beings that deserved better.
These women are actual angels and I feel bad for those that were locked up here.
I couldn’t help but smile and laugh. Miss Daisy is a trip and she reminds me of my grandma – stubborn as an ox and refusing help even when she needed it. This was so precious to listen to.
Angela, may you rest in peace. You were a bright light in this dark world and one of my heroes. You’re missed, but your work will live on forever.
A very intriguing listen. The narrator did an amazing job with this, and the author did just as well. I couldn’t figure out who was guilty and kept suspecting everyone lol Very well written.
Say hello to Ra Holmes & Khepri Watson! What a cute and entertaining story! I never knew I needed a mystery story in my life that would be solved by an Egyptian cat and his beetle sidekick, but I’m happy to have found it!
As usual, I had the wrong answer about who the thief is haha I don’t know if that speaks well of the story’s mystery or speaks poorly of my intelligence!
What can I say? I love these idiots so much. Also I think the narrator had too much fun with the singing bits haha
