Miss Peregrine's home for Peculiar children wasn't what I expected it to be. This book is for one absolutely gorgeous. The photos included through out are actually what the story was based around and I think it made reading it that much better but also impacted how epic the plot could have been. 
 Jacob our MC hears wild stories from his Grandfather all his life, stories about a girl who can hover and has to wear special weighted shoes and a string so she doesn't float away, A boy who can re animate living things with other living body parts( hella creepy btw), A girl who can create fire from her hands, another that is invisible. All these children from the stories that Jacobs grandfather tells him from when he is a little boy are crazy and unimaginable. Until something happens to Jacobs grandfather and Jacob decides to find out what his life was really like as a polish child fleeing from world war 2, what Jacob stumbles upon is not what he was expecting. 
 I was expecting a creepy tale but this is much more of a fantasy and if the language wasn't so eloquent I would probably class this as middle grade. 
 "Forgive me. I continue to underestimate the breadth of your ignorance." 
 The world building is what really sucked me into this book. When Jacob travels to the island all I could picture was dull taverns and dark streets but when we enter the Children's home every changes to a technicolour description and I LOVED THAT. 
 My real rating is around the 3.6 mark as I feel the plot line could have been faster and more interesting as well as the characters. The characters are there but I couldn't feel an attachment to them just yet. Hopefully as we go on more adventures in the next book I warm up to the relationships and the personalities start to shine a bit more. 
 I can understand why a lot of people LOVE this series but I felt it was lacking in a few areas and I just wanted a bit more from each of the characters. 
 Now some things I really loved that are spoilery 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 THE BIRDS ARE TIME TRAVELERS. I love this, imagine if this was real? I mean the birds wouldn't know what was going on and its not like us average people keep track of which bird is where through the history of time. I'm choosing to believe that all birds are now time travelers and no one shall tell me other wise XD. 
 Jacob and Emmas relationship. I don't know, it's not even that Emma was in love with his grandfather maybe it is a little or that she is 90 years old okay maybe a little BUT I just didn't feel the chemistry there. I like them as friends but I'm not jumping on this ship just yet. 
 The loops, I loved that there are multiple loops and the explanation of how to time travel through the loops was explained well and easy to follow. I can't wait to experience the new loops and worlds in the next book and see where it takes us. 
 The Dr being evil! YES did not see this coming. 
 Do you think that Jacob is going to meet his younger grandfather in the next book? That would be awesome are we going to see a really weird love triangle? haha I sincerely hope not XD (hide spoiler)]
