I just finished, and I believe it was one of, if not the most imaginative novel out there. Plus, the movie theme song is stuck in my head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf1WT8VEZxk
I loved it
I hope to read it soon, but the first time I read your onomatopoeia for the song, I thought of Epona's theme from Zelda...
Fantastic book, and I loved the movie when I was a kid.
DO NOT WATCH THE SEQUELS. XP
Too late, I'm already scarred. T_T
