About the book.
A peculiar book. Very much so. At first I found the book was very slow in picking up speed. Perhaps it was necessary to solidify the background of the main story but I feel it could have been done a bit quicker considering it’s not a very long story. That’s why I cut off half a star.
All in all however it was a very interesting and engaging story, painting a remarkable (peculiar) world inside our world. An enjoyable read for certain.
Note – there be spoilers and such after the cut, so proceed at your own convenience…
Images.
The images used in the book are definitely a nice idea to complement/supplement the story. At times, for me, they were a bit too distracting, taking the focus away from the actual reading and continuation. The images do fit into the story. I can even imagine that Mr Riggs obtained the idea for the story because of those images although I doubt it happened that way.
Pricing.
Unfortunately this is one of the books where, again, the digital file is more expensive than the paperback version. It’s something I’ll never understand.
You are aware that the name of the book is Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, correct?
