alondra_miller69 's review for:
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs
4 Stars (reread #2)
Mood: Excited
Music: Cutie Pie - One Way (1982)
Loved. so poignant and sweet, with a few thrills. After so many mixed reviews; I cleared my mind of any preconceived notions of what this book 'is about' and just read. So many of us can relate to the tall tales our parents, grandparents and or aunts and uncles, tell us. We also can relate to the time in our lives when those stories no longer held power over our imaginations. How sad.
Jacob listened to his grandfathers stories until he no longer believed. A chance encounter brings disbelief to reality. Now, feeling as if his life has meaning, Jacob starts to really live.
I still have an overactive imagination, but no where near what I had as a child. I was considered a dreamer... even by my teachers. I wonder.
(No change in rating, since the first time I read this. It is still a great book)
