Okay, I admit...I was wrong about what I said in my blog post "I Can't Read Boys!", or at least I think so. Now, I think that it doesn't matter who the main character is, it matters who the author's audience was, and my fellow commenters made me realize that. One person said that they thought it depended on who the main character was, girls connecting more to girl books, and guys to guy books, except in the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and another person said they also thought it wasn't about the main character but about who is the audience. All of these comments made me think really hard , and I finally reached a decision to see my reader's point of views and see if I agreed with them...so I continued reading Hugo Cabret, and finished easily! I even almost started crying when the book ended, that's how good it was. So, I'm going to seriously start being more opened minded about listening to other people's opinions, because they could even change your own!
Hugo Cabret is a young boy who is very good at working with his hands. His deceased father taught him that skill, and it helped him well later on because now Hugo Cabret is an orphan and spends his days using his hands to fix clocks in a train station, but he needs even more excitement then that , so he begins stealing form the toy booth in front of his "home" and building and re-building the toys, that's were his adventure begins.
In my opinion, this book attracted me more than Youth In Revolt or It's Kind of A Funny Story, because one, I love art, two it uses historical facts which really makes the book interesting and seem like a true story, and three, just like an intriguing story! It was so different, and I think that's why I loved it. In my opinion, the reason the author made it so different then form other books, is because he wanted to stand out from all the writers, teach us something, and create some art. Well, in my eyes, he succeeded at that, and created a master piece. Now this book is hitting my "Top 10 Best Books" list.
