allofakind shared a tip "This was the first book of the year for my book club at school. It's been on my TBR since middle school and thus I was extremely happy to finally get the chance to read it. And boy oh boy, was I in for a treat. I had already seen the movie and thus felt that I knew the story, and though the movie was truer to the book than some others (though they switched the main character's love interest's power to one of a side character for no obvious reason), there was so much more to discover about the main character Jacob, as there always is. Written I first person, the book delves deep into his psyche and presents him with multiple internal struggles throughout the book, from trusting his long beloved grandfather over his parents and therapist to deciding whether he should leave all he's ever known or not. One thing i also loved is that these were true struggles, things Jacob spent multiple chapters through out the book recalling and weighing the consequences over and over, obsessing over making the best and right choice. And that's not even to mention the intense action packed scenes Jacob and the peculiars were thrust into. Everything was described so horribly beautifully, with genuinely creepy photographs laced within. All in all, if up for a reccomendation I would have to say YES YES YES!! I will definitely be reading the other books in the series"

sariinaaaw shared a tip "A spooky,yet Amazing series of books,that you might be uncertain of it at first,but you find yourself so obsessed that you haven't even put the book down till you've finished it,I highly recommend it!!!"

summer_ballard shared a tip "I think this is a YA that people who liked Harry Potter/ A series of unfortunate events would like. The first book gives me this “retelling of Peter Pan” feeling, so much so, the author even compared it to that in the book itself… but definitely more like the original dark Peter Pan story, not Disney’s happier version."

diamond_baumann shared a tip "I haven’t read anything outside of the the Miss Peregrine series! But, out the series Library of Souls is my favorite! Do you have any suggestions?"

abby_settlemier shared a tip "Ooh in this series or in general? I really only read this one of random riggs and loved it but didn't continue. Favorite book overall, heir of fire in the tog series by Sarah j maas"

savannah_claveria shared a tip "Spectacular and brilliant I read the whole series in a week and I loved them all! Some people were weirded out by the pictures but I felt they added to the story in that they helped visualize."

chela_martinez_9473 shared a tip "This book has immaculate detailing. I loved the way Riggs took the child and turned him into a Peculiar Child, something he never understood before. Everything about this book! 10/10 Great book for teens and good friendship and togetherness. A little morbid, might freak out some younger kids though."

leo_1609 shared a tip "I really enjoyed it! 😊 I would recommend it. I will say though, I did not end up reading the sequels so take that for what you will"

nina_kravets shared a tip "This one is really cool! One of my favorite books. Even if you watched the movie - it’s fine. The movie has nothing to do with the book. The story is different in the book and it’s really easy to read! If you love Harry Potter and you want something a little more creepy (it is not scary at all) then this is the book you should definitely read!!!"

sephine_bondurant shared a tip "It reminded me a lot of Peter Pan and his story, but a more grown up version that is scarier but with better magic. I also enjoyed the individuality of each character."

haley_1021 shared a tip "This book is fantastic!! I will definitely reread ! It’s a little bit confusing at first but once u get into the story you won’t be able to put it down. It’s a spooky read with a bit of a love interest and a huge list of characters you will fall in love with! 1 of 3 books in the story and I think they are all just as good as the last. Book is better than movie"

shantel_cirillo shared a tip "So much of it was fantastic! But what I really loved about the series was the way the author explored how traumatic all of it really was. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the story and forget that these are children, being pulled down to their level and really seeing how devastating all of it was made even more profound"

sydney_jessee shared a tip "I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. It might be because I had my hope high. I’m new to reading since January, and I feel like it took me forever to finish this. I zoomed through Harry Potter and #lorienlegacies. I don’t think I’m going to try the sequels. Also, don’t watch the movie. It makes it worse."

emma_spingarn shared a tip "kept my attention the entire time. super unique story and definitely recommend, especially if you’re looking to do a series read."

jazzlyn_marks shared a tip "definitely recommend! i really liked it, the movie was absolutely horrible though. the pictures in the book helped bring out the eerie vibe"

elle_6662 shared a tip "Though I did find this book a bit hard to get into at first, I loved the characters and the world of the story. It's been awhile since I read this book but I remember loving it."

brooklyn_guzman_4146 shared a tip "I remember my first time reading this book in middle school, it grabbed my attention and glued itself to my hands. I couldn’t look up for a quick moment without wanting to slip into the pages of this book. Highly recommend. <3"

sessalie_hunter shared a tip "Such a phenomenal book; unlike anything I have ever read. It pulls one into such a unique, riveting fantasy that you will not want to put it down! The adult figures are flustering at times, but the resiliency of the children and their maturity is outstanding and so well written. The characters, their personal stories, and the interactions between them and those around them leave you wanting more; good thing this is simply the first in a wonderful series!"

raven_enfinger shared a tip "An amazing world that was created by the author. It's not very often that I buy every book of a series but for this I had to do it! There's a little bit of everything in these stories."

connier_gilliam shared a tip "Such an amaizng story, all the characters are lovable and the looming dark plot of the book left me hooked for more. Such amazing world building and made me fall in love with this series."
