April Book Club: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

I haven't started it yet. I am trying to finish a book already in progress first, but I downloaded it and I'm ready to go..

 

interesting.. saw the previews with the movie.. I am thinking about getting it to read.

 

will pick this up monday, can't wait to start!

 

Will you guys tell me if it's scary...or like startling? I don't like to be scared or creeped out lol Let me know before I start it haha

 

Just started it, so far pleasantly surprised.

 

I haven't kept up much here because I don't get to read a lot during the school year...just not enough time in the day with everything going on, so I binge read in the summer lol. But I LOVE this book. I read it about 3 years ago and am getting ready to start the 3rd book in the series as soon as I have the chance!

 

I'm going to go see where I can get it! Sounds cool!

 

I put mine on hold at my library. 5th in line, so I have a wait.

 

I should get my library copy soon as well. There were only 7 in front of me last week and lots of copies throughout all our inter libraries

 

I picked this up from the library on Thursday, but haven't started it yet. I picked up an actual paper book this time too since some of you said it was better to read it with the pictures handy.

 

oh yay! got my notice that it's available for me at the library Gotta head there after work tomorrow!

 

SO I'll start with some non-spoiler-ish talk... I was quite surprised that I enjoyed it for the most part - there were some creepy-ish bits like @berniek mentioned above, but most books have an equivalent to a bad guy/s. That said the only thing stopping me giving this to my 10 1/2y.o. book-devouring DD now, is I am pretty sure there was a reference made to a certain man in a red suit ... , i can't remember which chapter but it was early on. I hate when that happens or that a bunch of swearing gets in the way of a story otherwise suitable to share with her. But of course, I can't find it now going back thru, can anyone confirm?

 

I got my copy from the library today. Will start soon!

 

Ooooh, I got the book! For some reason if I access the 3M library directly from my Nook, I somehow bypass the other hold list on the main library web site. I feel a little guilty about it, as it has happened several times for me.

 

I'm not finding it scary. I finished the first book and I am now about half way through the second. It's definitely written to a more adolescent audience, but I do find the pictures disturbing in a disturbing sort of way. Even the innocuous pics of seemingly normal people just standing, the lighting and the black and white is unnerving.
