5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Cover with Surprise
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021

The story is amazing, definitely better Thabo the movie. But what really got me was this physical copy, the dust cover covers a gorgeous signature from Mrs. Peregrine herself.The story is pretty spot on to the movie but the changes are worth it. I advise watching the show first then definitely read it. I can't wait to read the second book. Also these are Young Adult fantasy books, each of the characters have more growth than the films obviously too.

4.5 out of 5 stars
I confess I got this book solely on account of its cover. The creepy, black and white photograph of a (very children-of-the-corn looking) girl, standing stock still, staring directly at the camera, as if contemplating how best to eat your soul stood out like a corpse at a holiday party. And the title? How could I resist? I plucked the book from the shelves and brought it home. Then (as you already know, if you read my post from a few days ago), I got distracted (things were shiny), and the book languished on my shelf. Then low and behold, the book will soon be a movie--directed by Tim Burton no less--and I didn't even want to look at the previews without reading the book first.

Miss Peregrine's is a young adult novel, but one that transcends the genre and is enjoyable even for those of us who have left high school far in the past. The best books in the genre (think Harry Potter) feature young adult leading characters and high school age problems, but also rise above the mundane to speak to the problems of a bigger adult world. The less enjoyable books in the genre (sparkly vampires *cough*) leave you wondering if you might have enjoyed the book when you were thirteen, but fairly confident you were never that insipid (though, obviously, all teenagers are insipid by nature).
Miss Peregrine's is one of the better books in the genre. Following the death of his grandfather, sixteen year old Jacob finds out that the fairy stories his grandfather told him as a child--about a magical island inhabited by children with paranormal abilities--may not have been just stories after all. Jacob sets off to learn the truth about the island with its mysterious house of peculiar children, all watched over by a bird who smokes a pipe.
The story is accompanied by photographs throughout the book, all black and white, with that particular creepy vintage vibe you get if you google search "scary Easter bunny". The pictures are all quite striking, and serve to add to the atmosphere of the book. When you learn that all these photos are actual vintage photographs (most unaltered), collected by the author, it adds to the creepy vibe (what were those people doing?) rather than detracts from it. The book is largely an adventure story suffused with all the creepy atmosphere an ancient, fog-shrouded island off the coast of Wales can deliver. There are a few scary/creepy/violent moments, but these are generally around the level of the dementors in the Harry Potter novels (as, after all, this is still a YA novel, creepy atmosphere not withstanding).

In all, this is a great read, and a fine example of a YA novel not only accessible for adults, but enjoyable as well. The characters are interesting and generally well done, and the backdrops, first of Florida, and then the Island are fully realized and contribute well to the tone of the book. I enjoyed my time with Miss Peregrine's and can't wait to read the second book in the series.

I do, however, reserve judgement on the movie version.

I bought this for my 13 year old, assuming it would be only a little inappropriately creepy. I don't typically read a book before offering it up to my child because I'm not a prude of sorts, and also I trust my children (impressionable as children are) to be okay in life despite words in a book. But this one seemed interesting and I wanted to dive in while her nose is in a different book. It's definitely a young ADULT book. My teenager is not oblivious to teenager things, but I was a bit caught off guard by the boner, pornographic, and blowjob jokes in chapter 2.. Just a warning for parents with not-so-mature teenagers at home. You might want to hold off until they're older teens.. I was a little disappointed how quickly it progressed with grandpa in chapters 1-2, and how blatantly obvious some things are already, but I guess that is YA fiction. I just don't think the author is going to hold my attention. This book will likely be returned within the week without finishing it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016

I bought this as a gift for my grandmother's birthday, and I love her so naturally I got her this book plus the other 2 to equal the series. Why these? because they are awesome! I don't own them but I checked them out at the library, and they are so good. It has a lot of action,mystery and I love the vintage looking pictures they include through out the chapters of the characters and settings that they are describing. I looked it up because I saw the trailer for the up coming movie and I wanted to read the books before seeing it. I usually describe this as x-men with a horror twist, the characters are described as a little scary or (peculiar), but the images that they have of them when read at night just leave a spine chilling feeling after seeing them.(could just be me, but I like that) I really could not put these books down. Your going to want to have the entire series ready so you can just pick the next book up. Jacob is the main character and though it starts off a bit average as he describes his privileged though still normal life but it's a necessity in order to understand the reasons for his struggles in the 2nd and 3rd book. I eventually grew attached to him and the main characters and felt the internal struggles he was going though because of all the explanations in the beginning. The middle is the action filled adventure he has traveling from loop to loop in order to save everyone and the 3rd is the finally where everything finally comes together. You will not be disappointed, they are making a movie about it so make sure to read the book before. I love the outside of the book it made a beautiful gift since the outside had a vintage feel to it. I usually don't like naming the exact things I like about the books within the story because I don't want to ruin it for those who have not read it yet, but if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and will try my best to answer them.

If you are a person that likes scary books, this is the book for you. This book is about a boy who finds out about his Grandpa's old friends. Be warned, another secret is to behold inside! This was a brilliant book to read and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too.

I like this book because when strange things start happening it makes you want to read on and see what happens. Sometimes it gets confusing but I love all the different ideas of the children! I would recommend it because there is good description and lots of pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

5 Peculiar Stars *****
Can I just start by saying I haven't seen the film. There's a lot of rave reviews about it in movie land but before I saw it I wanted to experience the book. I prefer to read these 'major motion pictures' before the become 'major motion pictures.'

What I read was a mix of scary, fun, magical, bewilderment, joy, bravery, and of course Peculiar children.

It was fantastic. It's left me wanting a whole lot more which is why I bought the sequel to it, however I'm going to wait a little to digest this one before commencing reading the next.

I loved the whole concept of this book, the imagination of the author is brilliant. From the detail written I could totally imagine myself being there. Encountering what Jacob encounters along the way and being scared at the 'monsters.' It all worked for me.

It's going to stay with me for a while.

Happy Reading :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2019

I wasn’t sure whether I would like this book or not so I hesitated picking it up for ages. But I am so glad I finally read it! I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to continuing with the series.
This book was so unique and I was completely hooked once I started. I was up reading late into the night and I really loved the way the photos were incorporated into the story and the book. It was a unique experience to be able to see the characters and added a new dimension to the story. The photos really brought the story to life.

The story was the right amount of eerie and creepy especially as I am not really into these types of books usually.

All the characters were really interesting to read about and the children were especially interesting as they may have been children but they were also over 80 years old due to living in the time loop for so many years. So they were much wiser and mature than you would expect from a child or teenager. They all had distinct personalities and were all really interesting.

They all had really interesting abilities which made them peculiar. And I’m looking forward to seeing more of them and hopefully we will meet new peculiars too.

They also had a lovely family dynamic where they all love and care for each other which contrasted starkly with jacob’s family, who didn’t seem to understand each other even though they did care for each other in their own way.

I also really enjoyed the way time loops were incorporated into the story and it was an interesting way to see time travel as you can essentially go back in time when you enter a time loop.

I enjoyed how we got the backstory of the peculiars through Jacob trying to follow the clues left by his grandfather and having to piece everything together. And then by the end there was some plot twists which I did not see coming at all!

I think the only thing I’m unsure about is the romance between Emma and Jacob. Especially as Emma was romantically involved with Abe, who is Jacob’s grandfather. It felt a little weird to me.

Overall I really loved the story and it wasn’t what I expected it to be. I am really looking forward to continuing the books to see what the children will do next.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2020

To be honest I did find this a little disappointing and there are a number of problems in the plot, such as a lighthouse shining out its light in the middle of the Second World War, even whilst the area is being bombed. There is a similar problem with the time loop, and indeed even after one has been destroyed, we seem to still be in 1940. There are some other quibbles as well, which contradict what we have been told previously.
Anyway, with that aside the biggest problem is that this book arguably does not know what it wants to be, it is aimed at the young adult market, although if you took out the swearing for instance you can see that this is really for a younger market than that, both by the style of writing and other elements, making this a bit clumsy and a hodgepodge affair. Written in the first person narrative so we meet American teenager Jacob who has grown up with the tall tales of his grandfather, but when the old man is found dead, so the stories start to become a bit more real. With our hero thus managing to get his father to take him to a relatively isolated island off the coast of Wales so he finds the orphanage that his grandfather spent time at. Now an abandoned and derelict building so Jacob manages to travel back in time and enter the building back on 3rd September 1940, the night of which saw the building destroyed by a bombing raid.

As Jacob meets the characters his grandfather told him about, so we follow what happens, as they come under threat from others who are evil and want to use the peculiar children. The story does give us some good characterisation at times, but a lot of the action/horror scenes are not that original, and I am sure many can come up with books or films where they have read or seen something similar. At times this seems to drift between something a bit more aimed at the teen market, and then drops into Famous Five territory.

As such I found this an okay read as such, and indeed it did pass a couple of undemanding hours, but as to reading more in the series, then for me the answer is most definitely a no. This particular book gives us an ending of sorts, but things are left up in the air so as the story can continue. The best thing I found about this novel was really the photos which are at times more interesting than the tale about them.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am all set for some more.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2018

"A mysterious island.
An abandoned orphanage.

A strange collection of very peculiar photographs..."

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a fantastical adventure. Travelling from the modern life of America to a rural community in Wales, the story hits the right notes and livens up the young adult genre with tone-enhancing photographs peppering the pages.

The mix, for the most part, works well, with the written plot a tale of a young boy opening his eyes to a magical world, and the pictures providing an eerie feel to the supernatural atmosphere. Some of the pictures themselves will give me nightmares...

There are a few rough edges: The protagonist is a little bland and frustrating, tones can sometimes clash, and the pace can sometimes enter an infuriating wander.

Synopsis (Not a copy from the book, but I always keep my interpretations close.)

Jacob Portman is a sixteen-year-old boy who already knows of the magical thanks to his enigmatic Grandpa, but whether or not he believes it is a different story.
But when Grandpa Portman is killed by a creature made of nightmares, Jacob struggles to reaffirm his reality.
In an attempt to stop the world spinning out of control, he travels to a small town in Wales, the town of his Grandpa's childhood.
A town that hides the truth behind the magic.
But with that truth comes danger.
A danger without mercy or soul...

Plot - 4/5 Stars

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, while harbouring a slow start, does a great job of building a mystery through Grandpa Portman and his wondrous tales of magic and adventure. Jacob worships him, but as a teen he has a healthy dose of skepticism. Luckily, the reader is under no such illusions. We begin the novel with belief, and as our main character tries to convince himself the supernatural doesn't exist, we're on the edge of our seats in anticipation for the big reveal.

Things are a little predictable, and sometimes that bubbling anticipation seems to go on and on as the story works to set its scenery and atmosphere, but once we get there, whoa. Mr Riggs doesn't give us a second to breath as he shocks our systems.

Once the peculiar starts it doesn't stop. As dazed as our protagonist, we learn an abundance of juicy tidbits just ripe to capture your imagination. The world is interesting and its mechanics will have you begging for more.

The photographs interspersed throughout help elevate this feeling. While they contain some emotion of their own, they really help to amplify what the author writes: When the story wants to chill you to the bone, the pictures back it up; when it wants to serve you hope as the dish of the day, the snapshots help you smile. The balance isn't always right. Sometimes photographs will clash with where the story is, but overall it pays off.

And when everything is set, events really kick into action. As we up the gear for the race to the end, Mr Riggs hands us a heaving plate of delicious immediacy, tension and twists.

Of course, now I have to devour the next book to find out what happens...

Pace - 4/5 Stars

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children starts slow and steady. From there there're a few instances where the pace picks up, only to fall back into its meander. But, in saying that, once its engine is running, it runs.

The first half is the slowest, but not in a hugely negative way. Events and motivations are set up and after the halfway mark your attention will be rapt.

Characters - 3.5/5 Stars

The author introduces us to a good, solid cast, but not a great one. There's variety and riveting magical prowess, but the characters' personalities suffer from being brought in a decent chunk through the novel, in a high volume. Some will please more than others, and there is tons of potential considering there are more entries to come.

My one truly fifty/fifty character is Jacob. For the most part he's kind of vacant, and if he stayed that way I could see that lack of substance as a void for the reader to fill with themselves. But there are so many frustrating moments that it's hard to place yourself in the protagonist's shoes. He has everything, and if you're poor (like me), it gets mighty mollifying when a rich kid complains that he's rich.

Then proceeds the lack of care in anything: He takes for granted a job in a company he might someday own; he's very dismissive of other people's experiences and feelings; and he's more interested in being special than he is about the family who've loved and cared for him all his life.

There are tons of examples of characters from other series who do those things, characters that I like, but I think Jacob's rather snooty attitude just brought those actions under a harsher light. Luckily, he's not all bad, and in many heroic ways he redeems himself, sometimes being the only one who can think realistically.

I'm hoping that in future instalments we get fewer new additions so that individual characters get the fleshing out they need.

Writing - 4/5 Stars

Ransom Riggs does a phenomenal job of executing a fantastic idea. The way he manages to mix the imaginative with the visual and pull it all into a cohesive experience is insane.

It has its ups and downs, but it's a solid story that brims with intrigue.

Overall - 4/5 Stars

I am all set for some more.

Next up in the series is Hollow City.
