I finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and I thought it was a great book. I remember talking about George Meleiu in my Film as Lit class, so it was cool to read a story about him (even if it was fiction).
Next up I'm moving on to The Looking Glass Wars. I loved Hugo Cabret. One of my teachers loaned it to me an it was a wonderful book. It looked like it was long, but it didn't take long to read.
