Review: Other reviews already give an outline of this book, but my comments are these. This is an absolutely necessary book to purchase as it is the very first to kick off an absolutely outstanding masterpiece of coherent, interesting and very engaging story lines, with complex and sustained characters that are believable and held over three subsequent books. There is no way the author could have been expected to condense the story line into fewer books. Although essentially written for young adults, these books slip well into all adult age groups. Even if you don't want to read this first book, I would suggest purchasing it to make your set complete! I had already pre-ordered Ransom Riggs latest book in the series due out in January 2020. I have that much faith in the author. This is an absolute must to complete an iconic set of books and I believe that long into the future, anyone not having purchased this first book, may well regret it...

Review: A wide variety of intriguing situations which are just-about (!) believable. I liked the 'short story' format as each story was just long enough to read before falling asleep. I'm definitely going to go back to the beginning and read 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children'. Keep going, Ransom Riggs. DT.

    Description: I'm absolutely fascinated by Ransom Riggs' [series] Talking Pictures - themed collections of found photographs that happen to have writing on them. Usually, there's just enough written to make each image more powerful, and leave you wanting more. (Boingboing. Com). Growing up in South Florida - the land of junk stores, garage sales and big-tent flea markets - Ransom Riggs collected pictures of people he didn't know. Searching through endless dusty aisles of old stuffed animals, mismatched dishes, and needlepoint portraits, Riggs would find boxes of yellowing snapshots, discarded by old folks who had died or children who hadn't seen fit to save them. As hundreds of unknown faces from unknown locals stared back at him, Riggs found himself searching a particular kind of photograph - those with writing on the back or sides. Talking Pictures is a stunning collection of found images from the past-men, women, and children pulled from obscurity, posing for unknown cameraman. Yet, upon closer inspection, each image reveals something greater - an inscription that has the ability to open up a new world. In Talking Pictures Riggs shows us how a few scribbled lines can turn a blurry black-and-white snapshot of people who seem a million miles and a million years away into an intensely personal sliver of experience that anyone can relate to. Grouped into categories like Love and Marriage, Road Trip, Clowning Around, and The Dead, the images reveal secrets, express pain and longing, and capture moments of honesty like no other medium. With a single phrase, each haunting image becomes something not just to look at, but to listen to.
