Favourite

One of my all time favourite books. The narration didn't really do it for me.

Me encantó

Una narración que trae a la vida los personajes y una historia poco convencional, hermosa y un poquito oscura.

Funny and entertaining

Excellent narrator!, first time I hear Kristin. loved Calcifer because of her. I do think it is way better than the movie, as it takes the story in a different path. I would have like d to know a bit how magic work in this world but I had a lot of fun.
Score 3.8/5
I think it is an entertaining story but I do feel that the world building is missing something. There are tons of explanations that went missing, although maybe getting to the next books will clear this out

Wonderful!!

A really good story that will appeal to many different ages (I’m an adult). Different to the film, but so much better in a lot of ways too. The reader is exceptional, and one of the best that I have come across. I recommend this book and the reader 10/10.

nostalgic and beautiful. full of memory.

I remember watching Howl's moving castle as a child and loved it so much. A lot of memory brought back by listening again. And an excellent performance.

Audible: write the name of the chapters!

Great book, lovely performance.
Absolutely recommended to dreamers and magic lovers.
Only flaw is that the chapters on the app do not correspond to the ones narrated and they are only written with a number. Audible... please, write titles and check them before publishing.
Enjoy a wonderful book!

Absolutely loved it

I'd only ever seen the Ghibli movie, so I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started listening to this. I really really enjoyed it. I liked the difference between the movie and the book equally.

The narrator did a magnificent job with the character voices and I feel in love with Howl's welsh accent.

Overall a fun little listen that I highly recommend.

My childhood favourite

Sometimes, there's nothing like revisiting an all time childhood favourite, such as this one. The first words by the narrator are always critical - does the narration live up to the excellent childhood memory? My first encounter with this store, was the Danish translation as an audio book. I listened on old cassette tapes several times spending hours listening to the stories about Howl, Sophie - and of course - Calcifer. I'd forgotten the book untill recently, when I came across my paper copy during a tidy up. Immediately went to Audible to look for an audio edition of the book. Previously, it had been unavaiable to me for country restrictions, so great was the happiness when I discovered that I could now revisit some of the most cherished imagination memories. If you haven't read or listened to this story yet, I highly recommend it - the very special story and charactors will grow on you and you won't be able to forget them, once the story is over. I, for once, keep looking for Calcifer whenever and wherever there is a fire - because who knows - there might just be a firedemon residing in the flames. Enjoy.

Wonderful story

I love the movie, now I love the book too, they are close enough for them to be related and different enough to love them separately for what they are.
