3 out of 5 stars A children's storybook version of the film   February 7, 2000
 10 out of 11 found this review helpful

This is a children's picture-book version of the film _Laputa: the Castle in the Sky_, with illustrations taken from the film.

The illustrations are beautiful (five stars there), but the language is pedestrian (this might be a translation problem) and does not do justice to Miyazaki's script. It's best viewed as a memento of the film (soon to be released by Disney as _Castle in the Sky_), not as a stand-alone work.

Children might not mind the simple language, and many will bathe in the pictures as they relive the film in their mind. The film is wonderful, but this book doesn't do it justice.
