rachaelanra 's review for:
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs
This was a pretty straightforward book that was easy to read but it did have a slow pacing though most of the book. However, once things started to happen, I found myself wanting to know what would happen. I liked the book but I really wasn't infested in any of the characters and I was simply reading for the plot.

I decided to reread Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children again because the first time I read it, I was expected a horror, thriller book (as that's how everyone around me was describing it has). Upon the first read, I felt like the book was action/adventure and it was not what I was expecting, so I rated it a three. Now reading it, I still feel the same way in regards to pacing and I like the book.
The thing that I felt changed was the characters. During my first read, I said that the characters were flat, and didn't stand out to me. But through my second read, I got a chance to focus more on each characters and find that they are quite charming. My favorite being Millard and Jacob did have a handfull of lines that I found funny. Though at some points it gets hard to follow who is who, I really did like each character that was present in the book.
Really, the only thing that bother me was Emma's and Jacob's relationship. It feels weird to read and I can't bring myself to accept it. I don't know if their relationship changes or goes down the path of romance (as I haven't read the next books) but I just know that, to me, it's one that I am not a fan of.
Overall, I really grew to like the story and it's one that I would continued.
