I have recently been reading a book called The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. The copywright date of the book is June 2, 2008 and it is a mystery book. It is a fiction story about a little boy named Hugo who lives in the wall of a train station and everyday he wakes up to go and mend the clocks. He later is given an automaton which is suppoed to work but it doesnt. Throughout the book he is trying to figure out to make the automaton work until he finds this key... The overall theme of the book is to never give up.
The book is told in 3rd person point of view. The story is about a boy who lives on his own in the walls of a railroad station. Everyday he gets up and mends the clocks to keep them going. Throughout the story he faces challenges and he manages to get around them. The intended audience are mainly kids and small children. The genre of the book is fiction and the book fits me because I remember a time that I never gave up just like Hugo. The author keeps me interested because I always wanna find out what happens next to Hugo and his life. I think that the authors style is effective because there are some very god pictures in the book that expin to the audience what is going on.
The book affected me because it taught me that even when times are hard and frustrating, you can never give up and have to keep going. It fits into my world view because when Hugos dad died I can relate to that when my Grandpa passed away a few years ago. It was hard and very sad but I knew that couldnt keep me from doing what i needed to do. This book did not bring up any memories from other books that I have read because this book is different from other books.
I would like to acknowlege how the author did a really good job using good detail and explaining everything very well. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books that are long and have alot going on.
