Let's talk about Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children by Ransom Riggs. This book was super hyped up and a ton of my friend's gave it five stars and told me i HAD to read it. Well i'm going to disappoint you sadly. This book was good but not GREAT in my opinion. Firstly it's classified as a fantasy young adult book...I definitely thought it was not young adult and way more middle grade. All the "children" seemed to be 18 and under. Each child seemed too juvenile to qualify as a young adult and i didn't feel they faced young adult issues, Not only that but it went REALLY slow for most the book for me. I feel like we learn more about WHAT the characters are and not WHO they really are. Which i was disappointed in. The book had some good moments, and it wasn't a bad book but it didn't live up to it's hype at all for me. I feel like the Percy Jackson books are a much better middle grade fantasy series to read. It just didn't do much for me. I liked the mystery of grandpa's past and the anticipation of what he would find at the school more than i actually enjoyed what he found. I gave it three stars. I might read the rest of the series just to see if we really get to meet everyone's personalities in the next book but even the ending of this one wasn't very anything. Not good or bad, just an ending.
It was a letdown for me but don't let my opinion stop you from actually checking it out and reading it! I wanna know your thoughts and how it was for you.
