A review by fatanyu
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
4.0
I really don't understand all the pretentious bad reviews on this book. I felt that it was imaginative and unique. I loved all the twists and turns and how all the worlds collided with each other.
It isn't scary, or a thriller, but I really wasn't expecting it to be despite the creepy images. It just has an overall dark aesthetic, and I love books like that. I think the main character has unlikable qualities at first but throughout learning about his family, they are pretty understandable in my opinion, and don't make him a bad character whatsoever. He's a 16 year old boy, they're pretty much all unbearable in one way or another.
I almost didn't read this book because of how strongly some people hated it, but I'm glad I did, and I think I may even need to read more of the series. The world is just so interesting and I definitely want to see what the author continued to do with it.
