A fun book that's been on my list for years. I love how it all came together at the end, like a neat little puzzle. 

This was my favorite book, the first large book I ever read, will continue to be my favorite book. I was able to imagine the scenes so vividly, and something about Hugo, his love for his father, and the beautiful mystery kept me entranced. I plan on reading it again soon now that Im a fully grown adult. Couldn’t recommend it more, this book forever has a special place in my heart.

An excellent book, but the writing style isn't my favorite. 

Met and exceeded all my expectations. Was hoping for a sad story to explore my own emotions with, and this gave me that and much more. A great perspective, splendid writing. Worth your time.
