3 of 5 stars
Read in November, 2011

Hugo is good. It's a young adult book with the same half-story, half-drawing format as Selznick's Wonderstruck, but it's not nearly as good. It was a fun, light 2-3 hour read, and now I'm ready for the movie this weekend. Yow!

Some tasty synchronicity... Selznick mentions the automaton at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia as an inspiration to his Hugo book. Ty and I saw that guy last summer during our baseball trip. Excellent.
