 This book is one of many others that satisfaited my bookish needs but at the sime time I can't under stand why people will or can go crazy about it. So, what I mean is that: this book is good, I really enjoyed it and it keeped me entertained... but it wasn't a masterpiece. 
 Then I really need to talk about this fact: people say that this book is a creppy/strange/semi-gothic verson of the X-Men. 
 My ansie to that topici is that: and so what? Is that a real problem? I don't think so. 
 Basically, the X-Men concept is based upon this: special kids with special powers that live in a house with a wise and competent adult who helps them. 
 So, if everyone start saying that wrote about a house/school/place/orphanage with young boys and girls with powers... well, also Harry Potter shouldn't exist. It talks about a school with people with powers -- magic in that case -- with a Dumbledore who is the professor Xavier at the situation. 
 Behind Riggs' universe there is something much and much more big. This first book just showed a little piace of it, with Miss Peregrine's Ymbrynes, the peculiar children, the not so clear time loop fact... 
 Also, I really hope that in the next book there will be something more related to the urban legend and mysterious facts that really happened. For example, in the book is mentioned a really big esplosion happened in Russia. I'm pretty sure that it's a reference to the Tunguska explosion. 
 This is really cool! 
 So, the world of the book is rich but Riggs wasn't exactly capable to explain or show in full details. 
 Also, the character were quite good but not perfectly shaped - even if I have to mention the girls, who are force of nature and amazingly brave. 
 I have a lot of questions about the time loop and theway the peculiar children relate to themeself, to the fact that they're old but they are still living inside children bodies. Why the think like children? The time loop affects even the mind? 
 I need answer an more clear explenations! 
 Talking about the photos inside the book... weel they're really interesting and particular. I think that was a really intelligent, clever and unique idea that helps the readers to immerse themeself in a strange world full of old stories and dusty secret.
