Liliannar (58 KP) rated Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Books

May 29, 2018

This was an enjoyable read and one that I will very likely pass on to my son. I only recently became aware there was more than one book and this was engaging enough that I want to read the next one in the series. Unlike so many other fantasy books this one actually acknowledges the idea that when a child / teen / person goes into another "world" so to speak, the people they leave behind will worry about them. So many go into these other "worlds" and their original home and family get completely forgotten. I enjoyed that element of reality being brought to the story.

This Netflix "teen drama" original isn't so original. It's basically a modern day "Fatal Attraction" (showing my age? Lol) with high schoolers. It wasn't too bad, though. The acting was decent enough and the cinematography is on par with many modern movies. Nothing too graphic in this but has some mild sexual content and violence. I found myself asking the same question I always do with movies like this.... Why aren't the characters a little more honest and a little smarter? Lol. Guess it wouldn't be very dramatic and definitely wouldn't last long enough to be a movie. Overall I'd say it's worth a watch if you can't find much else.

I enjoyed this book as we got to see more of Lucy and Tennyson and the growing connection between them.

I also enjoyed that some of the answers about Lucy were answered, as she possibly begins to get powers of her own, but what will they be??

I am still enjoying this series as a lighthearted teen book. We are also getting to see more of some of the other characters which is good as I particularly like Nikolai and Althea.

I still find it annoying that the main story is slow to progress, but will carry on with it as I am enjoying it.

I saw this not knowing too much about it. I was expecting more of a comedy, it has it's moments. However it's more of a coming of age, teen drama. That said it is a very good character driven film and uniquely interesting in a funny kinda way. It tells the story of one guys summer working a Adventureland, a rundown old theme park. There he encounters a wide range of misfits who he becomes friends with. A good film, well directed and the actors make it an entertaining watch, not to mention a time trip to the '80s. Cool soundtrack as well from that era.
