Hollow City
by Ransom Riggs
I decided to read this book because I had read the previous book of the Peculiar trilogy. I quite liked Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Hollow City is the same cast of characters. They find themselves being chased by "Whites", peculiar things that appear as people. The book is set, for the most part, in the 1940s, and, as it is set in sort of a UK environment, the characters are also in the midst of WWII. I could not help but feel that the whites are modeled on Nazis.
I didn't like this book as well as the first, and probably won't bother to read the third in the trilogy. However, I expect that those who were "over the moon" with Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will enjoy it.
It may be that as I am 71, I am a bit past the target audience, but I often find YA books very clever and enjoyable indeed.
