This book is my second book by Selznick and it follows the character of Hugo Cabret, a young orphan who is in hiding. Hugo lives at the station and he is in charge of the clocks all over the station. He hides away from everyone as he is basically alone and abandoned and he's doing his drunk uncle's job. Of course, soon Hugo's life of thievery and clockwork is challenged when he is caught thieving. He has quite a few secrets he wants to keep but he soon realises that this is not going to be easy
I felt intimidated by the idea of reviewing Hugo Cabret, and wondered if anyone would help me. Luckily, the cast of Terry Gilliam's 1989 movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen were delighted to come to my rescue. Here are some selected comments:The Right Ordinary Horatio JacksonI do not approve of this absurd confection, which even the most cursory glance will reveal to be utterly lacking in rationality. A small boy cannot hide in the walls of a station and tend its clocks; a clockwork
