A review by charms1976
Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs
4.0
Overall rating is a 4 start or B.
Individual ratings for each story below with a short sentence review.
1. The Splendid Cannibals -A or 5 stars
Everything cost an arm and a leg. Literally. Focus on greed and envy.
2. The Fork Tongued Princess -B or 4 stars
Eh. Not as good as the first story. Focus on beauty.
3. The First Ymbryne -C or 3 stars
This one was kind of boring in my opinion. It reminded me of a history report reading.
4. The Woman Who Befriended Ghosts -B or 4 stars
Really enjoyed this one, but the ending was way too rushed.
5. Cocobolo - B or 4 stars
I liked it but it was really out there in the peculiar.
6. The Pigeon's of Saint Pauls - D or 2 stars
My least favorite of the whole book.
7. The Girl Who Could Tame Nightmares -B or stars
Enjoyed it. Better than the last one!
8. The Locust - A or 5 stars
I like how it teaches about disabilities. Cute story.
9. The Boy Who Could Hold Back the Sea- B or 4 star
Cute. Wished it was a little longer.
10. The Tale of Cuthbert -A or 5 star
A sad ending at first until the author created a different ending as a continuation of the story.
