I don't hate that I read it, but it wasn't what I expected.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was a delightful read. I thought the author was clever in writing a story that centered around some very unusual old photographs of children. This story reminded me of a cross between a Harry Potter story and the X-Men comic characters.

Maybe I just thought this was something different than it was, thus making me hate it? The photos were cool but the storyline was not there.

I'm sorry to those who enjoyed this, but it was painful to complete.
