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.
