What do You think about Die Insel Der Besonderen Kinder (2011)?
I really enjoyed this book: the pictures complimented the writing and the writing was based around the pictures, as I found out after finishing the book. The book started out by setting up the rest of the story, however after a few pages I really started to get into it. I wanted to know about the peculiar children, and what was going to happen later in the book (which is something you should want in a story). There were many tense moments and also many funny ones. All in all, 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' was a book I really liked reading!

I see a lot of reviews giving the book crappy two stars because they were deceived by the cover. Let me tell you, this book reaffirms the old adage: Never judge a book by its cover. Sure, the first few chapters (death of Grandpa Portman) felt chilly, but I think it's a great build-up for the next chapters. It's definitely a page-turner, so much so that I found myself reading for 8 hours straight. Every page reminded me of a show and tell storytelling hour with my Lolo. I'd recommend this to all my friends who love photography as much as they love reading.

Ending is a little weak, but sets up the next book in the series.

Thinking between 4 or 5 stars.. Maybe 4.5
