    WOW!!!

    This is one of the best books that I've read in about 25 years. Once I started reading this, I made sure that I got the 2 sequels to it before I even finished this one. I don't think I've ever read this type of book before - I'm not sure what genre it belongs to. Fantasy? Novel? Whatever, it was absolutely fantastic! I'd love to find a lot more books that are as good as this one was.

  • Enjoyable Reading

    Read "Miss Perigrine's Home for Peculiar Children" first, then couldn't stop! Ended up reading the entire trilogy. It is very easy reading with very enjoyable illustration and great characters! I'd recommend this series.
