The Invention of Hugo Cabret

I enjoyed this book. I was amazed at how Hugo was able to live on his own and not let anyone know he was alone. He was a very determined young boy that worked very hard to stay secret and not let anyone know that his uncle was gone. I think it was wonderful how he was able to keep the clocks running and his secret life hidden as long as he did. I enjoyed the ending because I worried about Hugo throughout the book. I was happy to see that the automata made it back to Georges Méliès after he thought it was gone for good. For this book I actually downloaded and listened to the audio and the version I had was great! It had sounds of the train station and it really made me feel as if I was there the entire time. I have also watched the movie Hugo and I thought that it went well with the book. Not all movies are like the book, but I recommend watching this movie after reading the book.
