Part novel, part wordless graphic novel, Selznick's brick of a wonderbook tells a story of injury, escape, fear, friendship, family, exploration, and wonder - the archetypal "Juvenile Fiction" book of 2011, but this guy in his mid-20s certainly fell under its spell and devoured the book over the course of a day. If I have one minor nibble of a complaint, it is how the last fifth of the book is a tad too sentimental, but I probably just had ringing in my ears from the thunderous peaks of storytelling that lead to it in the first 4/5.
