Ayee, I am back with another book review, and today it is about Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.

Now interesting story about this book I actually have read it before, I read it last year but for some unfathomable reason I could not get into it and I don't get what is happening. But because of the buzz and my love for creepy, scary books I decided to give it another shot. AND I LOVED IT!

Now I dont really know what to tell you about this book because in my opinion its best to go into the book not really knowing anything, but what I can say is this book is about a grandfather, Abe who's told his grandson, Jacob fantastical stories about his life, mostly about this childeren home he was in, filled with amazing and peculiar childrens and guarded by a brid. One day something happened to his grandfather, and Jacob has to follow the clues his grandfather left him and venture the island of Cairnholm and find the childrens home. This book is just so unique that it doesnt feel repetitive in some ways, and the pictures throughout the books were just amazing and it played such amazing role in the book, it made the book fell more alive and real.

I thats really all you have to know or even probablly less than that, so if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do and come back here after you've read it and we can discuss it together, thats it for non spoilers then BYE NONSPOILERS BAAAAII

SPOLERS AHEAD

HMM.. Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, how do I even begin talking about this book, it was such unique book and it really stood out in my opinion.

I wanna talk first about the childrens home, like the whole concept of the loop was really well thought of and I loved that idea, but just the thought alone of me living on the exact same day on repeat is just scary, the fact that there are more children homes in a loop like this one is also very well thought of. This particular childrens home though everyday is September third, 1940, and the day restarts just before the nazi bomb hits the childrens home.

Now the cool concept that is interwoven with the whole loop thing is the ymbrine, Miss Peregrine, all the children calls her the Bird and as we go onto the book we learned that the only way you can make a loop is by manipulating time and the only one that can do that are ymbrines, which Miss Peregrine is. Ymbrines are the time manipulator, that can shapeshift into birds, because apparently in this book birds can manipulate time, birds are time travellers. Doesn't that just make you wanna be a bird? You can shit on people and time travel, thats the dream.

Anyways lets talk about the characters, I absolutely to die for loved Millard the invisible boy, I can just imagine him being one of those cute know-it-all, proper, always in a suit type of boy and Emma was also great, even though I kind of was creeped out by her and also pissed in a way, but at the end of the day she is still quite the lovable sarcastic one of the bunch, I also enjoyed reading about Olive the floating girl, and the scene when she parachuted them out the house it seems so fun, I want an Olive to float with, okay that seems creepy. Jacob, our main guy. He was very persistance which I loved about him, and his love and belief for his grandfather was just so sweet and the jealousy with Jacob's father, the fact that Abe spent more time with his grandson than his own son, it was very bittersweet. As for Abe I feel like I knew he had to die or at least went to a coma or something to set our story, so I wasn't very much shocked about it.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT EMMA AND JACOB??!

They are honestly so cute together I kinda ship them even though I'm still weirded out by the fact that his grandfather dated Emma and now he is kind of dating her, Jacob himself said in the book that dating her would be kind of incest and I just laughed so hard at that. But despite that, they are still very cute, and that one minute of Emma being outside of the loop and Jacob was just chasing her around and taking pictures of her, it was just so adorable. And how Jacob kept looking at the picture before he went to bed, and placed the apple Emma gave on his bedside table, ugh it was too cute. And even when Emma keeps pinching Jacob and he was like, 'I'm no expert in girls but I'm pretty sure when sge's pinched you four times, she's flirting it was so adorable.

Did you guys foresaw the whole Dr. Golan being a wight thing? Because I didn't. When that goddamn wight was like,'I was your bus driver, I was your grandfathers neighbours, I... Am.. DR.GOLAN!' and I'm just like what the hell?! This is some real effed up shit.

The end where, Millard, Emma and Olive came to prove to Jacob's dad that they were real, I WAS LIKE YEAH, EAT THAT DAD.

The climax scene, a lot of things was going on and I actually thought someone was gonna age up and died, but it didnt happen so hmm yea..

I GUESS THAT IS IT FOR MY REVIEW TODAY! Comment your thoughts about the book, I'm Rana and I'll see you guys on the next review, BUH BAI
