    Hooray! You loved it! I don’t know if I’ve seen Carl’s post about this book, so I’ll have to click the link and check it out.

    I really did love it, and it’s one I think I’ll be reading again fairly soon!

    It’s so cool to hear of someone else who appreciated this book as well. I read about it in a magazine and reserved it at my library before it even came in. I thought it was so original and was in awe of the work that went into it. The librarian read it next so that we could talk about it. Loved it!

    This is sitting on my shelf. I wish I’d remembered it earlier in the Readathon… But thank you for the review. I’ll catapult the book to the top of the TBR pile for when I wake up again…

  10. Review: Wonderstruck by Bryan Selznick | Bart's Bookshelf

    [...] The Invention of Hugo Cabret blew me away when I read it back in 2008, so to say I was looking forward to this one, is an understatement. Of course there was a touch of nerves, in that could he do it a second time? Thankfully the reviews I did see, gave it a thumbs up! [...]
