I watched the adaptation when it first came out, and later found out there was a book, but I never got around to reading it and forgot the plot, and I wanted that atmosphere, so I decided to read it.
From what I remember, the film isn't very different from the book, except for the romantic line (shock), and some details.
It's hard for me to rate it, but I will definitely read the second part, since I wanted to know what happens next even while watching the movie.
I actually liked the idea and atmosphere.

I’ve been wanting to read this book since it came out just because the cover and photos inside of it were so bizarre! I wasn’t sure what category of book this would actually be from the cover, but I was pleasantly surprised when it was a young adult fantasy series instead of a horror series (which I had thought). The book series is very family friendly with some cussing. I loved that I could guess along what would happen as the book went on because the author really planned ahead well with plot development and I loved the small details that the author weaved through the stories. The series starts out with a character named Jacob who lives in the Florida suburbs. After his grandfather’s death, he becomes more and more aware that maybe the stories he told him growing up were actually real. Present day, the past, and peculiarities all blend together for this series with great character development that has action, love, monsters, and plots guided by real vintage photographs that the author found.

Okay, that was really good and had the perfect amount of creepiness. I just really wish I could see the pictures (context I did audio)!
I can see why some people don't like but I absolutely loved it! At times I was a little confused but the uniqueness and the overall idea of this novel was fantastic. I always stared at the photos for a long time because they managed to intrigue me and also creep me out at the same time. The second book cannot come out fast enough!
To be quite honest I don't really know what to make of this book.
When I first saw the illustrated cover I was intrigued as the book looked really eerie and foreboding and thought the book would be a horror, the synopsis really doesn't give much away. Whilst reading the book I was reminded of the X-Men series and Miss Peregrine definitely resembles Xavier.
For my own 35 years old mind the book was a little too far fetched but I can imagine if I had read this as a young adult I would have been engrossed.
Basically, the peculiar children all have their own unique gift and live in a special 'loop' like time capsule keeping them a secret from the outside world. The story follows Jacob who for years has been told fascinating stories by his beloved Grandfather of a lady who turns into a bird or the boy who has bees living inside him. As he grew older Jacob began to suspect Abes' tall stories were because of his wild imagination. But after the untimely death of Grandfather in suspicious circumstances he realizes he may not have been telling stories at all....
