If you haven't read the book, how can you say the movie is as good? Or do you mean you haven't read the rest of the trilogy?

They are completely different. I would say the Miyazaki film was loosely inspired by the book, whereas the book is heavily influenced by myths and fairy tales. I saw the movie before I read the book and love them for completely different reasons and was shocked by how the movie is nothing like the book. I'm going to reread them once I figure out which kindle account I have them on.
