Howl's Moving Castle

I saw the movie version of Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones with Kristin. It was a cute movie, I thought, a little confusing but otherwise the animation was terrific. The movie followed the book's storyline up to a certain point and then they diverged. I lost track of who was who in terms of the enchanted and found myself rushing through the last quarter of the book. I'm not quite sure what the point of the book was because the characters weren't well defined. It was just okay, a good read for kids but not really my cup of tea.
