Un libro maravilloso, aquí si aplica el dicho "una imagen vale más que mil palabras" cada una de las ilustraciones decía más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar, la historia es sencilla pero llena de magia y una vez más se unen el cine y la literatura me atraparon con este libro. Sencillamente hermoso

I read this with my daughter; we both truly believe that not enough good things can be said. 

The story, along with all of the illustrations, made for such a wonderful experience and an absolutely perfect story. 

We were absolutely swept up in the life of Hugo and Isabelle; into the magic of Georges. From start to finish, we were absolutely intrigued and couldn't get enough.

This was so wonderful. I’m actually really glad I read this now as an adult. At this point in my life, I’ve read about and seen a number of the films mentioned in this book, and I think that helped me to enjoy the story more than I would have when I was younger and unfamiliar with Georges Méliès and classic French cinema.

A beautiful, imaginative, captivating story told in words and pictures. I was mesmerized. THIS is what printed books should be. Definitely one to keep on our bookshelf forever.

This author has talent not just with his ability to paint a story with words, but also with his amazing ability to tell a story of emotion, and action through his incredible and magnificent illustrations. His words and illustrations interact and complement and make the story complete. History was brought to light within a beautiful story that was told.

Graphic novels are becoming very popular and I've never been able to understand their huge appeal. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the visual aspects of this book. Though it's a fat book, it's also a very quick read. It's inventive, original, and a possible contendor for the Newbery.
