i too am peculiar...


“i used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. i had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was.” 
- ransom riggs, miss peregrine's home for peculiar children

i just finished reading ransom riggs' miss peregrine's home for peculiar children.  i just stumble on this book while looking for something to borrow from the library.  i didn't even realize that it was a children's book until i completed the whole book and did some research.

click here to get the synopsis of the book - miss peregrine's home for peculiar children.


for a children's book, i'm surprised that it captured my imagination.  i could not help myself but finish it in one sitting.  it's an easy book to read and the pictures do help with the imagination.  without ruining the ending if you want to read it, the biggest disappointment is the ending.  like most post regarding about this book, the question that comes to mind is that if this is going to be a series?  i do hope so because it leaves you wanting to know more.

oh yeah, there is a plan to make this book into a movie according to some websites.  i just hope that they do justice.
