[Mini shadow box. xmas art show 12.16.2011]I know there's a movie out, and yes for many, including myself, it drives a motivation to read things. What a gorgeous book.. I know I've said that about a lot of books, but I'm saying... yea read this tome in a janky e-reader and it will not be the same. Well an iPad would be alright. The merging of drawings and text to tell Hugo's story is utterly magical, and for a juvenile book its intelligent,visually well executed, and its incorporation of film history is enough for parties (young and old) to enjoy. Tre beau.
