omqchristi 's review for:
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs
» QUICK OVERVIEW «
Stars: ★★☆☆☆
Plot: ★★☆☆☆
Readability: ★★☆☆☆
Characters: ★★☆☆☆
Writing: ★★★☆☆
Recommend: ✗
» PLOT «
An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar.
Nothing really happens regarding the plot, and I would be fine with that, had the characters been good enough.
» READABILITY «
This book would've been easy, had it not been for the blandness of the lack of plot AND the bland characters.
» CHARACTERS «
For a book that clearly emphasizes the uniqueness of each character, I didn't like any of the characters. I didn't hate them or anything, I just didn't connect with them or like them.
» WRITING «
The writing was good, nothing that made me not like the book.
» OVERALL «
I don't know what I expected from this book, but I do know that I expected more.
This book has a lot of similarities with [b:The House in the Cerulean Sea|45047384|The House in the Cerulean Sea|T.J. Klune|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1569514209l/45047384._SY75_.jpg|62945242], and the only reason I gave that book 3 stars was because of the small role of the romance.
