When I first heard about this book, I heard people talking about it being creepy. Especially the photographs included. It wasn't really creepy in my opinion. Yes, the pictures are a tad weird, but that's it.

The story itself is written at a nice pace. Whilst reading it is quite obvious it's just a book leading up to the big conclusion, which will not be revealed at the end of this book since it's only the first installment in the series. Overall the pace was just fine, but it definitely was slowed down because of the photo's included. At some point I felt like the photo's weren't really adding anything important to the story anymore. I was getting annoyed by how many photo's there were.

I liked the writing style of Ransom Riggs. It's easy to follow and to read. The first half of the book is very descriptive and informative about the story of the grandfather and Miss Peregrine, so you get the hang of the story. Near the end the story really kicked off! It got exciting and it had a nice cliffhanger at the end. Thanks to this cliffhanger I decided to give three stars and I decided to continue with the series.

Overall, I liked the ending of the book the most. It was the most action packed and the most exciting.
