Movie: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

My first finish for #JubilantJuly (it helps when you only have 20 pages left 🤣) and another #SeriesLove2023 finish (prequel to the series).

I enjoyed this more than The Mysterious Benedict Society. It was fun learning about Nicholas‘s background.

Whilst I do enjoy the writing, this series drags a little and it is not often Beatrix‘s book of choice at bedtime (admittedly for the first half of the year it was competing with her dad reading Harry Potter). Reminds me a great deal of Lemony Snicket.
I enjoy the characters and the TV series but the books are just a bit long for reading at bedtime once or twice a week. Tried to find the third instalment on audible but no luck.

I love this series! This was an excellent sequel and I look forward to reading the next one.

I‘ve enjoyed this quirky TV series thus far

I was hesitant to read this one, as the last book in the series went so terribly, but I already owned this one. I liked it, but I felt that the plot built up to practically nothing. And it would have been nice to have an epilogue, since we have no idea what happened to John and Violet, as they‘re not mention in the series. Nicholas Benedict is an orphan with narcolepsy. ⬇️

This was one of those books where the series was completely wrapped up years ago and the author. I would have preferred if they had left it as it was, and it bugged me that I didn‘t know the characters‘ ages. But, the writing is good so that saved it from pan. 2.5⭐️

I thought at times that the story was slow. I did think that Mr. Benedict‘s clues were pretty clever. Overall I did enjoy this book even though it‘s meant for middle school kids.

Letting my son read to me for a change.
