THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET By Brian Selznick



I REALLY enjoyed this book. It transported me into the streets and trainstations of  Paris in the 1930´s the author did an exellent job in conveying a mood of wonder and excitement.

The characters in this book where so well thought out that you could tell they where human, how they all had troubling pasts and stories to tell. Isabelle ended up winning my liking, not just because of her LOVE for books, but because of her sense of curiosity and adventure; how she befriended Hugo simply because she was intrigued of his actions and behaviors, and how she never gave up trying to figure out papa georges past.

Last but not least, the illustrations.





They where all so beautifull and mesmerizing, and it proves the point that one picture (or drawing) holds a million words.

This book is recomended to ANYONE with a love for the past, adventure, and movies.
