The Invention of Hugo Cabret

As a big fan of Martin Scorsese, I am shocked by how few of his books I have read.  I have recently read Shutter Island, and today I finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  This is a good, quick read for those who want to explore the literary side of Scorsese.  Although it runs over five-hundred pages, the font is big and the pictures many.  It does a good job of distilling into a story a depiction of gang culture, and its many sides and betrayals, similar to those found in Who's That Knocking at My Door, Mean Streets, Gangs of New York, and The Departed.  Look for Scorsese's documentaries on film for similar films.  Recommended!
