Lately, I have been reading:
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
These are my thoughts so far!
Firstly, Ransom is an amazing artist. And, yes, I saw artist because he is so much more than just an author or a writer. He truly knows his ways with words and how to make you feel like you are immersed in his books. I am so incredibly beyond impressed with this gentleman.
Secondly, okay the characters are just… wow. Jacob stole my heart from the very beginning. He is sweet, curious, inquisitive, and just overall lovable as a character in this book. Grandpa Portman was everything I hoped he’d be: eccentric, crazy, courageous, and just overprotective of his loved ones. And Miss Peregrine herself… she is a sweet, kind hearted, majestic, graceful woman who truly cares about her “children”.
Finally, guys the STORY itself is SO GOOD. I cannot stress this enough. Honestly, while I’m typing this lovely review, I wish I could be reading the book instead! I mean, there are parts that will make you laugh, cry, shutter in fear, and most importantly, there are parts that will actually give you goosebumps (I kid you not)… I am so beyond impressed!
