Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

What starts out as a charming enough idea–the author using vintage photographs to create a fantastical YA story–sadly very quickly becomes trite. I wanted to like this book, I did. But I couldn't get into the main character. I wanted more of his grandfather, who was cool. But, in the end, the story is a hash of Bleach, X-Men, and too many other things to name. The characters were fairly flat, except for a couple, and they weren't the most original characters. It was all a bit too forced.
