Wonderstruck

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
2011
★★★★✰
So I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret last year and enjoyed it thoroughly.  I figured this story should be good too.  It was.  The story is a great at intertwining the story in text and the story in drawings and then how they ultimately combine.  I found the New York "Panorama" fascinating and will definitely make it a stop when I end up going to New York.  In September, during the US Open of tennis held at Flushing Meadows, I had started to research the 1964 World's Fair.  I was interested in the Unisphere and other attractions.  Not much is left from the fair but the Panorama remains.
