The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

Five academy awards finally convinced me to rent HUGO when it was released on DVD.  It is fabulous! The film based on Brian Selznick's book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" is beautifully filmed and the story is positive and self-affirming.  So much of the pleasure in viewing this film is related to the subtle color palette, sets and magical sense-of-place, I am now curious to read the book.  Yes - I've picked up on this one slowly, but I definitely ascribe to the saying "So Many Books, So Little Time!"
