What do You think about La Straordinaria Invenzione Di Hugo Cabret (2007)?
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian SelznickI absolutely love this book! I have read it a million times and am still amazed by all the details. This book looks scary, but it is actually half full of pictures! The first time I read it, it took me about half of a day to finish it. This book is about a clock keeper, Hugo, who's dream is to finish the invention his late father found in the attic of a museum. He goes through many adventures including stealing, illegally going to the movies with a girl he met, and finding an old movie star everyone thought was dead. He grows up in a new home and helps bring back the movie star's old movies. This book is different in a good way and I think everyone would love it. Brian Selznick also has another book out that is like his first one. Both are amazingly awesome!!!!!!

So, I would like to start with the illustrations. I am a huge fan of pencil sketching, and this is the extreme art book that also tells an amazing story about a boy in a train station. The illustrations are filled with so much detail, that the reader does not necessarily have to read every word in order to follow this story with ease. Every illustration covers each page from corner to corner, and contains so much detail that the reader can easily spend several minutes looking at each one. The imagination runs wild with this book, as it should, considering the main character runs rampant with imagination and creativity. Great read, even for guy in his late twenties who read it for the first time. So full of adventure, finishing the book may come before taking a break from it. Good read.
