I read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children from February 26-27 and really enjoyed it！ I liked Jacob and my favorites of the Peculiar Children were Emma and Millard！I didn't ever laugh or cry during my reading/listening to this book。 But I imagine if I ever reread this story， tears will flow！ Because there were at least a couple sad scenes！I didn't read the whole of this first book。 I instead listened to the beginning， listened to parts of the middle， and then listened to the end！ As this I read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children from February 26-27 and really enjoyed it！ I liked Jacob and my favorites of the Peculiar Children were Emma and Millard！I didn't ever laugh or cry during my reading/listening to this book。 But I imagine if I ever reread this story， tears will flow！ Because there were at least a couple sad scenes！I didn't read the whole of this first book。 I instead listened to the beginning， listened to parts of the middle， and then listened to the end！ As this was the only book I was reading， I alternated between the audio and the paperback。I'll read book two soon！ Because I need to know what adventures the Peculiar Children will get up to now that they've left their loop and if Miss Peregrine will be able to return to her human self！ 。。。more

I absolutely loved these books。 I haven’t quite gotten around to reading the next two yet， but I am looking forward to it。

Rosali Penunuri ，

This series was really good。 It became one of my favorites。 The cover from the first book drew me in and the descriptive writing and interesting characters made me sink in。 This is the third book in the series which is meant to conclude Jacob's adventures with the peculiar children。 He has been helping them escape Wights and Hollows all while trying to save the existence of the peculiar kind everywhere。 This series was really good。 It became one of my favorites。 The cover from the first book drew me in and the descriptive writing and interesting characters made me sink in。 This is the third book in the series which is meant to conclude Jacob's adventures with the peculiar children。 He has been helping them escape Wights and Hollows all while trying to save the existence of the peculiar kind everywhere。 。。。more

Syd ，

This was a cool series。 It reminded me of the X-Men a little bit （not the terrible movies， just the mutants being at the Xavier school）。 I think Hollow City is my favorite in the series。 I was not expecting all the plot twists。 The Hollows and Wights were probably one of the creepiest and most interesting parts of the series。 I loved the random pictures throughout the books。 My only downside is that Library of Souls was a little of a let down for me。 I can't quite pinpoint what exactly I didn't This was a cool series。 It reminded me of the X-Men a little bit （not the terrible movies， just the mutants being at the Xavier school）。 I think Hollow City is my favorite in the series。 I was not expecting all the plot twists。 The Hollows and Wights were probably one of the creepiest and most interesting parts of the series。 I loved the random pictures throughout the books。 My only downside is that Library of Souls was a little of a let down for me。 I can't quite pinpoint what exactly I didn't particularly like about it， but it felt kind of anticlimactic to me。 Otherwise， I found this to be a great series。 。。。more

ExceptionalBook 3 was action packed and an absolute page turner。 The world building is masterful。 This story is filled with imagination and creativity from beginning to end。 The story gets better and better with each sequel。 I can't wait to read Book 4。 ExceptionalBook 3 was action packed and an absolute page turner。 The world building is masterful。 This story is filled with imagination and creativity from beginning to end。 The story gets better and better with each sequel。 I can't wait to read Book 4。 。。。more

Other than the last book （obviously trying to make it look nice for the movie version）， the other books were very interesting to me。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The trilogy of books I am talking about dives head first into the death of jacobs grandpa Portman and therefore gets him involved in an unwanted feud between the peculiar， the hollowghasts and to save miss peregrine the wards ymbryne （a bird that could turn into a woman or the other way round） l was immersed in all the characters from olive， a girl who was as light as air to alma peregrine。 It’s a wonderful coming of age story everyone no matter what should read。

This was such an enjoyable trilogy！ The adventures Jacob and the peculiars go on really pulls you in， and I’m so happy that Ransom Riggs has made a fourth installment to this series！

Marquelle Adkins ，

Overall， I enjoyed this series。 It took me a bit to get into the story， but once into it， I found it intriguing。 I liked that the author used real photos to develop the plot/story。

Mark Lawrence ，

coll and very entertaining。。。 :D

Mrs Kindle ，

Love this series。 I have an interest in old photos and love that the author has incorporated this with the story。 Lovely to look at and great to read。

Mark Winner ，

Currently my favorite fiction series。

Ariele ，

Interesting story and pictures， could have done with less foul language。

Sarah ，

I love the concept and the mind that was able to take inspiration from old photos and extrapolate them into a fantastical parallel world。 I am amazed （and a little jealous） at the imagination that created this。

Tonya Gibbs sutherlin ，

Peculiarly entertaining

Mcgonagall ，

I have enjoyed this series so far and I am looking forward to reading the final book in the series。

Kim ，

This was a very well written book series。 I could not wait to get to the next book。 The series would be enjoyed by many I do believe！

haunting invisible monsters called hollows; the setting of WW2。Characters: 4/10There are a lot of characters， especially in Miss Peregrine's Children Home， that I found after a while quite difficult to distinguish by name。 Beyond that， some of the characters really pissed me off。 First of all， Jacob。 You are 16。 Get a hold of yourself。 People die， and his reaction to become deeply depressed because of his grandfather's death was unbelievable in my opinion。 We all lost grandparents in our childhood， youth and early adulthood， and we all survived it。 Secondly， those children really annoyed me。 They act like children， despite the fact that they are around 100 years old。 And somehow the 16 year old boy Jacob is the saviour。 Especially creepy hereby is the relationship between Jacob and a peculiar girl， named Emma， that used to date Jacob's grandfather， and now dates him。 Say what？？World Building: 5/10Most of the story takes place on an island in Wales。Fun: 3/10The first of the three books was ok， but the last two books I have to admit I started to skim instead of properly read， because I was just so unbelievably bored。 Lots of things that happened in the story seemed irrelevant to the read thread， but were just part of the book because the author had some images that would fit in。 I was relieved once I finished reading the novels。 Rarely it even happens to me that a book I am reading is so bad， that I just stop reading for a while and I cannot remember how I ever enjoyed reading。 This was one of those cases。 The last two books took me over a week to read， while I usually manage to read a novel a day。 I had to force myself to read them。 And after finishing them， I was so happy to pick up another book （I actually picked up a St Mary's short story， which I knew I would love）， which reminded me how much I enjoy reading again。Predictability: 4/10This is one of those stories when you know the good people will win， nobody dies， and Jacob will be the hero。 Very predictable， a bit boring， without any surprises whatsoever。Believable: 5/10As I mentioned before， there are a few very unbelievable aspects of the story that make me literally angry。 Those children are around 100 years old， why are they just so very stupid and whiny？ Why is Jacob， a 16 year old child， the hero？ The issue is not the fact that we have peculiar children - those are more believable than the characters。And after 100 of years， those children trust this nobody who turns up one day， just because he is the grandson of another peculiar child they used to know。 They trust him blindly， and the whole "you are the chosen one" just got really tiring。"I believe in you， Jacob。 I haven't known you too long， but I feel I know your heart， and it's a strong true thing - a peculiar heart - and I trust you。"*Farting noise*Relevancy: 5/10Not much to say here - it was average。 Nothing ground breaking here。 Children who are a bit different try to find their place in the world。 There is the opportunity to do much more with this in today's modern times。 Plus， Jacob exploring his grandfathers heritage。 This could have been developed much further too， especially in today's modern society where people tend to forget where they come from or what their ancestors had to endure to get us the living standard we enjoy now。Cover: 8/10The cover shows one of the many images in the novel。 Different enough to stand out。Total Verdict: 5。4/10Probably the hype made my expectations too high。 It was 。。。 meh。 And as a side note， the word "peculiar" made me cringe every time I read it。 Halfway through the second book I started hating that word。 But the first book was definitely worth it。 Read more: http://bit。ly/2NxXjCI 。。。more
