Hugo

I finished reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret before departing on my recent journey to the Capital. It was a nice story. I thought the mixture of word and picture storytelling was creative. And I like the strong image it gave me of the story.

The setting was a train station in Paris in probably the 30s. It was a bit of a peculiar story. I don't know that I can say I loved it. I was really hoping to love it. But it was just all right. I wish I could pinpoint what was lacking. It was nice in the end.
