Good, a little short and too fast-paced (maybe I'm holding a childrens novel to adult standards too often?). Beautiful, beautiful illustrations. Interesting story. Recommend to those with 'unique' minds who like to slowly chew through books.

I liked this book a lot. I wanted to look through it years ago, but I forgot about it. An easy read.

This is a very nice/sweet story combining elements of illustration and text. It's a quick read despite its size and has a nice mystery story to go along with its unique formatting.

"But another story begins, because stories lead to other stories, and this one leads all the way to the moon."
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a mysterious story about a young boy who lives inside the walls of a Train Station in France, where he looks after the clocks...
I thought this book was a little bit better than the Marvels, just a little though, as they are both beautiful illustrated with a beautiful story inside them.
Brian Selznick crafts some fantastical, magical elements into his stories, like no other. He's got hisown style and I really love that about an artist and author.
