Well, the whole concept was embarassing ...
Spoiler:
As if it weren't bad enough that Howl turns out to be a 20th Century Welshman, we have the indignity of Sophie being sickened by the mysterious conveyance ride in an automobile, and gaping at the wizardry of the magic boxes that kids play video games on. Gak. It totally took me out of the story to even know that our world existed within the fairy tale fabric of the novel's events, much less have our heroine bedazzled by our tech gizmos and our titular hero be a mere human from our own mundane world. Bah.

I thought the war stuff invented by Ghibli was GAY, but the novel's unfortunate twist was downright QUEER.
