I wanted to read this before watching Miyazaki’s movie, and now that I’ve seen the movie… the book is unequivocally better. I’d actually recommend watching the movie first, otherwise it’s disappointing. The book is excellent and a completely different storyline. My only complaint is the plot is a bit disjointed or hard to follow on a couple points, but it’s still worth reading.
