Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #1) written by Ransom Riggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
“The movie is no where near as good as the book.” I often say this without ever having read the book. For something different, I thought I’d say it without watching the film. From the book’s title, to the cover art, to the picture appendices, it was always going to be a dark, creepy tale of historical intrigue. If you peel back these layers, I’d say it’s a cross between Harry Potter, The X-Men, with a twist of Groundhog Day. Each day it successfully took me to another time and place. This was required to appreciate such a fun story of discovery.
