Howl is one of those fantastic characters who seemingly has no positive traits, but you love him all the same. I've never seen the film of 'Howl's Moving Castle' (despite being a Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki (sp? Apologies for any errors!) fan!) because too much was different and I couldn't get my head around it - the book was one of my favourites as a child and still is now. I'd start with 'Charmed Life' which is one of my favourites. If you want to read 'chronologically', then the first book is 'Conrad's Fate', which is fab, but IMO not a great intro to the series. The first one I ever read was 'Witch Week' which is a part of the Chrestomanci series.

She really defined the way I read fantasy and the way I write. I used to work at a bookshop and I have a copy of (nearly) everything she ever wrote - she is just one of those authors who you can come back to every time and see/find something new.
