good ones lately

Hands down, my favorite book this year has to be The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Selznick got his claws in my eyeballs and I did n't look up for 3 hours. I love the way he does n't mess around with a lot of sticky unimportant details. Hugo's father is simply portrayed as a loving yet odd guy who dies an untimely death. The automan is just a magical instrument. A well crafted fairy tale boys will love
