Critical Response

I definitely thought that Brian Selznick's book The Invention of Hugo Cabret was fantastic! His story of Hugo Cabret and his automaton is amazing . The main theme of anything is possible makes me feel happy i read this book. Selznick's use of hyperbole on page 77 "...using all of his strength..." supports that theme by telling how using all of his strength to get what he wants. The tone throughout the book is sad three quarters of the way through the book but shifts at the end. It makes the reader feel satisfied with how the book ends.
