Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) is mourning the loss of his…

This one is a bit different, with more clues and intellect involved. The past two adventures saw young Bond going after baddies,…

That means not only do the characters have military training, but they have doctoral degrees, and great science and tech at their…
The Invention of Hugo Cabret (2007) – Brian Selznick

It absolutely swept me up in it’s narrative. But I had never read Brian Selznick’s original book, which…
