So, I did the audiobook of the first Miss Peregrine's book but bought the second one. Boy, I had no idea what I was missing. I'm now going to go back and buy the first book just so I can look at the pictures.

A peculiar novel indeed, the concept of these strange children, loops and perils had been utterly lost from my memory and it took a few chapters to get back into the swing of things.

It's formulaic but spun in a way that grips your imagination, most frustratingly it's a cliffhanger. When's book 3 out!!

I love the use of the historical pictures as illustration in the story. They are perfectly peculiar and fit wonderfully.

You need the second book because there just isn't enough pages left in the first or the third book to do the story justice. With that said, spoiler alert, the novel ended in a fashion to not only allow for, but insist on a third book. We shall continue on with the adventures of the Peculiars. ...more
