I know, you are saying "What took you so long?!" I finally read Wonderstruck. I thought Hugo Cabret was amazing and unique, and was afraid Wonderstruck would not stack up, but it did. I loved how this book was exceptional in its own way. The two intertwining stories seemed to have nothing to do with each other, different time periods, different locations, yet they unbelievably went together. The text story of Ben, who had lost his mother and was on a quest to find the father he never knew, was touching and mysterious. Meanwhile, the picture story of Rose, whose show business mother and busy father did not have time or affection for the young girl, wove itself around Ben's story. Throughout the book, I could not fathom a way their lives could intersect. Full of surprises, emotion and discoveries, this work is spectacular.
