How many of you went to Google or Wiki at some point while reading this book? There's a fascinating video about a real automaton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwkkDf...) if you felt the same curiosity that I did. I've heard there's an audio version of this book, which really makes me wonder how they've adapted it. That leads me to my first question:
1. Are the words or the pictures more important to this story? Or are both necessary? (www.adlit.org)
2. Do you think that Hugo's father and then his uncle have been murdered?
3. How is this book like a movie? How have you personally responded to this unconventional writing form while reading?
4. In your opinion, which picture(s) in the book has/ have been most powerful? Why?
