I loved it, especially all the loose ends tying up near the end - I wanted to see which movie matched the book most closely and it seems like the Hugh Jackman one - even the roiling Seine waters at the end, which in the movie seemed kinda fake so I thought they made that up. The sewer scene is amazing in the book. Wow.

Great story but Hugo is a little wordy.
