Anyone ever read Howl's Moving Castle? There's a movie inspired by it though the book is way better. It's one of those where the book and movie are really different but not in a bad way. How to Train Your Dragon is the same way, except for some of the names you'd hardly even recognize them as the same.

Welcome! I love reading Edgar Allan Poe! And....I didn't know Phantom of the Opera was a book! I've only watched the movie! Who is it written by?

Gaston Leroux. It's a good book - I'm thinking about watching the movie. Is it any good?

I really quite liked the movie. Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum were the Phantom and Christine. I loved both of them! X)
However, it is a musical. So, if you don't like musicals...you may not like it.

Thanks for the author. I will have to check it out from my library when I go next.

Welcome! I really LOVED Artemis Fowl, and I'm currently reading book 5 in the series. Well, I will be, when I finish the book that came in the mail today. X)

Wow. You really do like the author!

Just finished "Artemis Fowl: Opal Deception" (book 4). I LOVED IT! Except....someone died. I am so mad at Eoin Colfer. One of my 4 favorite charries. DIED. X(
No, I didn't cry. (which is weird for me)

Just finished reading chapter 1 of "Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony" (book 5).

OMG I cried when Julius Root Died. It was so sad!

So...I'm alone in the fact that I did NOT cry when he died?
I generally don't cry when people/characters die in books. Does anyone else not cry?
Also, have you read the entire series? X)

I never seem to cry in books. I don't remember- I might never have. I've only once cried in a movie (17 miracles- anyone seen it? The ending was... well, enough to make a person who almost never cries, cry... :') )

Which of her other books would suggest? I want to read more by her but I'm not sure which one to get from my lovely friend the library. Howl's Moving Castle is totally epic. I've read twice since I got it from the library and I'm working on read number three. Sophie is awesome. And I love how the chapters are titled. Like this: Chapter 5, Which is far too full of washing XD

[starlord.]

I was wondering, are the Lord of the Rings movies as good as the books?

There are companions to that book. The first one is Castle in the Sky, and the second is House of Many Ways.
