There's a boy who can make golems with animal hearts, and a girl who can animate topiarys, but all in all the kids are dry and dull. With the vintage photographs in the book - the wild stories that grandpa Abe told Jacobs- Jacob's silly job - his best friend - his mom & dad - and ALL THE PECULIARS..... I enjoyed a lot the concept of creating a new “world to be discovered” in an era where it’s supposed that everywhere was already explored, along with such unique (for not saying “particulars”) characters. I loved the writing, the humorous way Riggs has with descriptions, and the old-fashion carny photos were a nice touch.
The book has been a New York Times best seller. It reached the No. 1 spot on the Children's Chapter Books list on April 29, 2012, after being on the list for 45 weeks, remaining there until May 20, when it dropped to the fourth spot on the list. Critics have generally praised the book for creative use of vintage photographs in the sepia style and surrealist form, as well as good characterization and settings.

Here it is for the boy to uncover secrets and threats he couldn't have possibly imagined. The coolest part is, in the back of the book, Riggs explains how all the pictures are authentic, vintage photographs which were part of large vintage collections. Anyway, in the case of this movie, I just knew the book would have details the movie didn’t and I really wanted to know what those details were. Again, full transparency, I actually think seeing the movie first made this book better for me. And I really enjoyed all the other characters and actors from this movie too. So, of course, I was visualizing them as I was reading.

The main problem with this book is that the entire time I was reading I felt like a high school English teacher grading a student's paper, when in fact I am not a teacher or anyone who majored in English or writing. If I am simply a normal reader thinking this, then who the hell was working as the editor?? Clearly the several people the author listed in his acknowledgements couldn't have been reading closely enough. The text was just screaming "amateur writer, please help." I've spent this section plus many pages of comments on this review explaining the various points of my opinion, so I would recommend reading them before pointing out something I missed. Some people have commented that's way too much time - I also think any time spent watching football is too much, but I certainly don't tell my aunt, a big 49ers fan, that.
They were created by a freak-accident in an unethical and illegal experiment conducted by Miss Peregrine's two brothers. Hundreds had joined their cause, and with the aid of misguided but powerful ymbrynes, it was intended to achieve immortality without the limitations of time loops. Instead, it led to a catastrophic collapse that destroyed half of Siberia where the experiment took place. Everyone involved was presumed dead, but their corpses became deformed and crawled back to a lesser, animalistic state of life.
It does have a sense of moving forward, making you anticipate the next book. Seeing this book when I entered the bookstore one time, the peculiar cover truly piqued my curiosity. I didn't buy it that instant though or the time after that and the time after that.
The ongoing fear, chase, and battle loop is fun, generating the needed tension and keeping things moving along. Stepping from one world into another, particularly for teens, is usually about leaving the nest and seeing the real world for the first time, whether this is about sexuality, fairness, conflict, truth, or all of the above. Jacob’s hormones are stretched a bit here, so we can check that box. Also he gets to see some of the reality of what his life pre-Peregrine featured. What were the adults in his life really like when seen through his newly acquired perspective? Can our character grow sufficiently to take on adult responsibilities, make adult decisions?
About a children’s home filled with kids who all had wonderful and strange capabilities; from invisibility and super strength to having two mouths or a constant swarm of bees following them. Jacob would take his grandfather’s tales with a pinch of salt, he was after all a Jew during WW2 – the horrors he witnessed, the family he lost, it’s no wonder his grandfather had a bit of a wild imagination. Miss Peregrine's is a really amazing book.The setting, the characters, the plot, the photos were weaved together beautifully to create a wonderful, one-of-a-kind story that surely leaves a great impression upon the reader. I wouldn't consider the ending as a cliff-hanger but it was open ended.
Enoch mentions an old story of her being injured in a road accident. The incident is said to have trapped her in the form of a kestrel for an entire week, leading to the collapse of her loop before she healed. Millicent Thrush — Miss Thrush has a loop in London and is headmistress of a children's home there but also co-runs Miss Nightjar's special-care home. All ymbrynes take on last names which correspond to the type of bird into which they can shapeshift (e.g., Miss Peregrine can turn into a peregrine falcon).
There is definitely a melancholic feel to this book and I felt like I was watching an old movie where you know that there isn’t going to be a happy ending. We get to meet Millard, the invisible boy, Olive, the girl that can float without her iron boots, Fiona, who can make plants and trees grow in seconds and many other lovely children with even lovelier abilities. Miss Peregrine didn’t reveal much of her character as she does in the movie. We don’t get to read a lot about her to be honest, and she was the one person I expected to see more of. Not just at the beginning, but all the way through. Mister ‘’I-am-too-good-for-everything’’ , Mister ‘’My-family-is-so-rich-I-will-try-my-best-to-get-fired-from-work-because-my-uncle-owns-the-shop’’.
On the other hand, writers use tropes because they serve a story-telling purpose. What matters more is whether they use well the familiar tools at hand. Peregrine is a familiar person in charge, the type who is courageous and caring, despite what can seem a severe façade.
