I agree, the illustrations are amazing! I hear that there is an upcoming movie adaptation of the book. He also has a new book out called Wonderstruck, which I can't wait to get my hands on, if only they weren't so expensive. :P

Yay! I read this book before because I was fascinated with the drawings. I thought it was like Harry Potter, full of words. But this thick book is a combination! XD

After finding out that Martin Scorsese directed it, I know it's going to be good and interesting. This might be the first GP film he made (General Patronage). :mrgreen:
