My favorite books to read are book that are made into movies. I love to read the book, then go to the movies to see how it has been brought to live. This usually happens in that order, book then movie. However, this is one of those times where I read the book after seeing the movie.
Book Summary: Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.

I actually saw Hugo, the movie, a few months ago and enjoyed it very much. It was a magical movie, and the book was just as magical, if not more. It is a wonderful story and it is beautifully illustrated. I would recommend this book to everyone!
