 "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" is one of those books that many people are so hyped about, that they make me what to read it. I'm honestly not very much into YA literature, but this amazing novel called A Thousand Nights . I adored it, so it kind of gave me back my faith in YA novels. 
 First of all, "Miss Peregrine" was not what I expected. After reading the blurb and the title and seeing the cover I thought it'd be, you know, a horror(ish) kind of novel? I'm not expecting something gory and graphic, it's a teens' book after all, but I wished for a creepier, darker, more mysterious atmosphere, which I didn't get. 
 What I got instead? A bunch of kids who were perfectly normal (except for the fact that they a few paranormal abilities). This is a version of the X-Men, seriously, but it's badly written and it has completely undeveloped characters. Besides, it's built around those vintage photographs (which were one of the cool parts of the book), and I have the feeling that Riggs was sitting at his desk, surrounded by photos and he was thinking Look, this one's of a girl peeling potatoes and smoking pipe. How could I include this in my story? How about this one of a dude sitting on a bomb?. No. Just no. 
 And when you thought things couldn't get worse, the insta love comes in. The main character is a rich kiddo who hates life and who's special peculiar, but don't you worry, his ability is pretty dull. He falls in love with his grandfather's ex-girlfriend, who is 88 years old. But it's not pedophilia, because she looks 16. Kill me now. 
 I have many more complaints, but let's not stop people from reading this book. They might like it. So, if it's on your to-read list, give it a shot. It has it's nice parts.
