Miss Peregrine's Home Review

It was a struggle to get to the portion of the novel where everything made sense.  I'm the type of reader that needs to have a quick introduction into a plot or else I lose interest.  I chuggled along for quite some time before I found the concrete plot, and if I was reading the book for personal use I probably would have dropped it a good 50 pages earlier.

The beginning of the book goes on about the death of his grandfather, and the mystery behind everything surrounding his death.  The portrayal of Jacob's depression was rather legitimate and done well.

The pictures added much to the book's ability to tell the story.  If the pictures were not there, it honestly would just seem like any other novel with supernatural powers and events.  The pictures are what stood this novel apart from the rest, especially knowing that the pictures used were not tampered with and were actual pictures.

Overall, I'd give this book a 85%.  The long time it took to get to the main plot worked against the book in my opinion, however, the pictures really made the story stand out as a book to remember.
