The good ol’ days.
Very accurate.

I know. ^_^
So.. I finished reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children..
I thought it would be a creepy and scary read.. I mean just look at its front cover:
Nothing’s creepier than a creepy-looking girl creepily floating in a creepy background. Add to that the creepy font used for the creepy title.
That’s all there is to it: Creepy. Nothing scary ever happened. (Well, maybe the death of Yakob’s grandfather at the first half of the book was a little bit scary)
In the book, the protagonist Jacob was blabbing about his ordinary boring life and how this life was split into the “Before and After” by something out of the ordinary that happened. Well I’d like to think of the book as also being separated into the “Before and After”. The Before encompassing the will he or won’t he part of the book where Jacob went to the island in search for something that would disprove or prove his grandfather’s stories. It was sweet when all the mysteries were revealed, though a little bit too early in the book. (So something else is yet to happen). I would have been happy if the book stopped there.
And then we come to the After, where I had to convince myself to continue reading. It felt as if the book was begging for a sequel, but not in the good way. It was a chosen-one-saves-the-day-and-many-other-days-if-this-book-was-made-in-to-a-series way.
However I enjoyed the authentic photographs it used to tell it’s story. This one is my favorite:
