it is so amazing it has a girl and a boy and it's really cool its like a mystery with the two of them. For e.g. the girl writes something on the peace of paper and when the boy reades it, it does not look the same like it does not have the same words IN IT THERE in different time. I WILL TELL YOU GUYS THAT YOU SHOULD GET THIS BOOK TO READ :)

Okay so we read this book in class with my teacher and I think now everybody in my class has it. i love it read it a million times.

this book is great :)

This book is such a success! Its amazing! The plot is so addictive, and the whole story and how it was put together with the Rose in the images and Ben in the story, was just sooo creative and loved it so much! I read it from start to end non-stop. The ending was SUPER AMAZING. This is one of those books i will remember forever along with hugo cabret!!

This book was so so amazing. I loved the story and the illustrations- so unique and gorgeous. I just loved it. It was so interesting and different- I've never read a book like it. It WAS a tiny bit predictable, but that's okay...

Fantastic book - couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

Wow! I really loved this book. At first I thought the dual narratives, one in prose and one in pictures, would be gimmicky and off-putting, but I found the story very emotional and gripping and I loved the dual format. The book was unique, was a surprisingly fast read, and I loved the characters and story. It was part mystery, part coming-of-age, and partly a quest. I found it memorable and haunting, and I'm very glad I read it,

You really have to appreciate the work of Brian Selznick. The way he can take a very simple story and completely bring it to life with his wonderful sketches is a real talent. Beautiful book.

So many fantastic drawings! I cannot wait to read The Invention of Hugo Cabret!

In the wake of Brian Selznick's debut novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Wonderstruck was a disappointment. I felt Wonderstruck caught my attention and then dropped it. It was almost like a bait and switch situation. I got the impression the author had a great idea for a book and then rushed to write it or simply didn't think it all through. This novel didn't develop the mystery; instead, all the answers were with held to the end, where the reader is dumped a boatload of them in a few pages. What a disappointment! Where's the clues that are dropped along the way or the suspense throughout the whole book? I will say this: Wonderstruck was a great story about family and learning. The main character value both, especially the latter. The Wonderstruck story line was a great idea! The story was a mockery of what it could have been if only it was written better. In all the places The Invention of Hugo Cabret excelled Wonderstruck failed. Quite obviously, Brian Selznick is a gifted story teller, although his latest novel was a little set back.
