Hmm...well the word peculiar in the title certainly fits this book exceptionally well! I'm not quite sure what to say about it. It is without a doubt like nothing else I've ever read. The story is interesting & quite the concept...very creative. Yet it still felt like there was something missing, but I'm hard pressed to put my thumb on just what that would be!
The characters are well written & nicely developed. The plot moves along nicely with some twists & turns. The ending left a bit to be desired, but it was very open. I hear there is a sequel in the works so that explains that. It was an okay read & I do think I'd pick up the next book in the series. Maybe it will help me make up my mind on how I feel about Miss Peregrine & her peculiar children. I guess we will see...

Quick read
Great character development
Unique plot
Well written
Action-packed and exciting
I hadn't really given the Science Fiction genre a fair chance, so I decided that this would be a "starter" book. I figured since it was Book 1 of a series, I'd either love this book enough to get the next 2 or just abandon all hope for the genre.
I am happy to say that I found this book action-packed and exciting with a unique plot.
Well developed characters bring you into the story and make you actually care what happens to them.
The thought of humans having their minds transferred into AI robots (as well as other objects) is amazing and frightening all at the same time...especially when it is for the purpose of defeating a lab-created AI that has gone rogue with an objective to annihilate the human race!

A heady irreverent drama-dy fit for older millennials.
One of my favorite genres! I love messing with time-lines and time-loops. This show doesn't fall into the easy writing errors that many make with this genre. They don't spend time with exposition figuring out the "Why" of the plot. Instead, they just deal with the issues presented to them. They don't spend time messing with issues that can cause big continuity errors. They instead just use the plot to tell the story. The story was well thought out and beautifully told. It is a story essential for millenials struggling with identity, how we are shaped by others, and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to those around us. Bravo! 9/10 would watch again.

Great Dramatic Science Fiction Thriller
I like J.K. Simmons so I was intrigued by this new show and decided to check it out. It is quite interesting in the fact that it tells you right away that there is a parallel Earth that is similar to ours and everyone has an other that looks just like them with the same name similar memories to a point, but certain paths in their lives diverge so there are slight differences between the prime person and their other. J.K. Simmons really shines in this playing the main characters Howard Silk and Other Howard Silk. There are differences in the parallel world compared to the prime world as well. The story is great with interesting characters, intense drama, and the cast is great as well. It always keeps you guessing and it's really well done.
