I loved the idea of a house that had many doorways and depending on how you turn, you end up in different places. I couldn't quite 'get' the characters in the book, but the ending ties some of that together. It also could be that I didn't read the first book, Howl's Moving Castle. I would recommend a young reader read the first book to get the feel of the characters in the story.
