Better than expected! I had heard that this middle book of the "Mrs. Peregrine" Trilogy was a little slow, but I liked it. Especially the ending! I loved that Jacob's powers are beginning to evolve in this story! The story also ends on such a great cliff hanger, I can't wait to start on the next book!

and now he can control the hollows! I felt in the first book it was kinda a lame peculiarity to just be able to see an invisible monster. I would be like, "aww man, why can't I make fire or raise the dead or have bees live inside of me, this power is lame" But having Jacob figure out how to control the hollows is pretty BA. It kinda reminds me of being a parseltongue.

I liked the first one a bit more but there were some good twists in this one too. Looking forward to the next!
It was a bit long at first but then I can't get off of this book.
This is a very cool and quirky set of books so far. I really hope there is a third one soon as I desperately want to know how the children make it out of this mess! But following them along their journey has been fascinating and very different than any other book I've read in a long while.
If you are trying to decide if you'd like it, I guess I'd ask if you liked Harry Potter, or maybe the Charlie Bone books? Books with people who do have fantastic abilities, but they have to hide them from the "outside world". It's like that for the "Peculiars." It's also appealing to anyone who's ever *felt* different, or unusual or peculiar in some way... as there is quite a bit of thought put into the idea of how when people are different they are treated in a certain way... segregated from society. Unwanted. And, that sometimes those differences can actually make someone great... as we are finding out with the POV character of the book.
I'm glad we have authors who are inserting some reminders of what can happen if intolerance is allowed to run amok...as it's the children reading these books who will accept or reject people because of their differences in OUR future... but still very sad that those reminders are needed.
