Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

3.0

---

I liked the premise of the book - use unusual and creepy photos to build an unusual and creepy story. The book was an ok read, but I was disappointed at the book which didn't really take on much of an identity of its own. There is a story, but it wasn't made particularly engrossing or believable. The characterisation was weak and more could have been done to create a ghostly / creepy atmosphere.

I borrowed this from the local library and won't be buying a copy of my own... although I fully expected to before reading it.
