Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was our book of the month. I actually started this on audiobook during a road trip and had to finish it on ebook on my phone because I didn't have the patience to finish the audiobook. It's actually going to become a movie soon directed by the one and only Tim Burton! The premise of the book is kind of hard to explain but I'll try my best. There's this kid named Jacob who's 16 and his grandpa is his idol because he told him all these amazing stories about his life when Jacob was very young. After a string of events, Jacob decides to find the children's home where his grandfather grew up to try and figure out if his grandfather's stories were true. There were some aspects of the book I really enjoyed and some I didn't enjoy very much. It took about half of the book before I really had an understanding about what the actual plot was. This is by no means a fast-paced book, but I did hope for a bit more speed in the beginning of the story. I did really like the pictures in the book and how they related to the story, because they added a spooky element that words alone would not achieve. The romance in this book felt very forced and I think I would've appreciated the book without it, especially since it kind of disturbed me. Overall, this was a good first book, (I gave it 4 stars) but I'm hoping for more from the next two, especially since all the world-building has already been done.
