Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

I enjoyed this very much. What a feat, combining all those found photos and making a coherent and utterly gripping story around them! Although it is, I suppose, aimed at teens, I, who have not been a teen for many years, enjoyed the writing and the creativity immensely. The last bit–I stayed up way too late because I could not put the book down.

It wasn't until I found out that there is a sequel that I realized a reaction other than sheer enjoyment. When I read that there was another book, I thought something very much like, “Oh, no thank you. I'm stuffed. I couldn't [eat another bite/read another word].” The writing and storytelling are dense and rich, and enough is enough for now.
