I am loving it. I heard from a few people who read this that it, "starts slow but stay with it". I'm not sure we are reading the same book. Haha. I am enjoying the opening. I am invested in Jake already. What an amazing guy! I was fascinated by his grandfather too. Now that Jake is going to the old house I am anxious to see what happens next! <br />I love the photos. They add so much to the story. Usually I prefer the pictures in my mind but these are awesome. They do make me afraid for the movie though. I am more often than not disappointed by the movies. It will be interesting to see how it comes out. <br />I really love reading this with you all, (even though I got started a bit late. Story of my life. Haha.).

Who is he and why is he so special and how does all that relate to his grandfather. Plus him meeting all the peculiars was so fascinating. I'm going to try to catch up and hopefully have some more meaningful things to say soon! I've been wanting to reread it before I see the movie.Heather G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18051840056392247706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223856338565996197.post-7897939217644031562016-09-13T17:30:30.945-04:002016-09-13T17:30:30.945-04:00Not since I was a child, reading comic books, have...Not since I was a child, reading comic books, have I ever read a book with photographs and graphics such as this. Jacob is an interesting character. He is different than most teenagers, and his grandfather definitely saw this. He knew Jacob to be intelligent, sensitive, and fearless. This was so much more than even Jacob's father saw in him. Looking forward to see where this story goes.spiritushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964462018929710825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223856338565996197.post-91863895650242277052016-09-10T11:39:06.293-04:002016-09-10T11:39:06.293-04:00Here is my blog post on the first discussion.Here is my <a href="http://darlenesbooknook.blogspot.ca/2016/09/miss-peregrines-home-for-peculiar.html" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> on the first discussion.<br />Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222625207655829945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223856338565996197.post-61987771818859050372016-09-10T08:52:38.661-04:002016-09-10T08:52:38.661-04:00Cairnholm Island sounds like it'd be a delight...Cairnholm Island sounds like it'd be a delightful place to visit. Jake is a wonderful character and at some parts he made me laugh (even though the situations weren't that funny). The photographs were a great idea!! I do think they add to the atmosphere as well.

I would totally take photos of everything given the history.<br />I find the photos just as intriguing and love how they are woven into the story itself. I want to know who these kids were. Were they as special as grandfather made them to appear? I am not sure Jake "grew out" of grandfather's stories as he claims he did, otherwise I do not think he would be on the island to begin with.<br />I am curious to find out about the letters that grandfather had received from so long ago. They are a key no doubt to the entire story. <br />Glad to read on now! :)Michelle aka Naila Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085797149191658262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223856338565996197.post-75092016023759212442016-09-09T20:51:08.066-04:002016-09-09T20:51:08.066-04:00I would to visit love Cairnholm Island.
