This will contain a few very minor spoilers but I doubt it would ruin anything if you have not read this book yet.
The first half of the book really had my attention and I wanted to see what was going to happen, however after the time travel part it lost me a little bit. I felt like some things could have been explained better in the book for instance when Jacob first went through to the other side it was confusing about where he ended up at. There was some over explained parts of the book and so ...more

I expected more :-(. Read like it was meant for a much younger audience than designated for.
As far as concepts go, Ransom Riggs executed his beautifully. Picking out a selection of haunting photographs, to accompany a brave selection of haunted "peculiar" characters. The tension in the plot was thick, each new unanswered question leaving the hints of paranoia and curiosity in the forefront of the mind. The story wraps up with an explosive war scene and a life changing decision by the hero of the story. This is not just "another young adult novel", its an adventure I'd encourage anyone

I really liked this book, mainly because it was so different and had a similar vibe as Night Film did by using old pictures as artifacts. Very cool idea. Definitely recommend giving it a read!
I thought it was a very interesting, creative, and imaginative book. It was spooky and fun to read. The pictures were great!
⭐⭐⭐ and a half for the photos but the story was just OK and very common, maybe the next one will have something more.
