Once I stopped comparing this book to the movie I really enjoyed it. I love the movie a lot and the book is very different.

After watching the film from Hayo Miazaki I was so excited to read Diana's novel. Unfortunatly... this truelly was a film adaption that overachieved it's book. The pacing and direction in the novel felt clumsy and rough :c It breaks my heart because the concept was sooo good, and I really eanted to love it.
