Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a strange story...but that's what makes it so good. With similar elements to the X-Men story line (which, I don't mind, I like the concept), this is a nice take on the modern fantasy story. The addition of photos enhanced the vintage vibe to the book and I was sharing the photos with my boyfriend who wasn't reading the book but because they were very cool (he's a photographer by trade, I asked him to help explain how on earth someone could make those photos without magic...not convinced Peculiars weren't involved on some of them). This book would make a fantastic movie as it has a lot of action and potential for very cool special effects. The ending made way for a sequel so I'll have to dive into that soon to continue the story!
