Vanessa Di _anuzza — This book wasn't what I was expecting it to be. Can't say it was necessarily better or worse than what I was expecting, just...different. I was expecting a creepy, scary story that'd freak me out and possibly give me nightmares. But no. The story itself isn't scary or creepy. It is, however, mysterious, a little eerie, and paranormal. However, there are several photographs (which, by the way are real photographs, not made for the book) placed throughout the book that go along with the story. The photographs are the creepy parts of the book. Some of them, you can't tell what it is, or what someone's doing. And some of them seem relatively normal at first glance, but then when you get to looking at them, it's like omgwtf!?! Even if you have no interest in reading this book, at least go to a bookstore and pick it up and flip through it just to look at the pictures. One picture in particular that really freaked me out is one of the first pictures you see in the book. It's of a man lying on a sofa with a gun in his hand. If/when you get the book and see the picture, you'll know what I mean. It spooked me. If you wanna know about the plot of the story, go to the book's page. I don't waste time putting the plot in my reviews when you can just go read one that's better put together than what I could type up, you know? But I will say a few things about the plot: there is a teeny, tiny, itty bitty, little speck of a romance in the story. It's not a lot, though, so if you don't like that kind of thing, you can still enjoy this story. Another thing I wanna say about the plot is actually why I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5. There are a few times in the book where some important action will be going on, but instead of reading about the action, you're just reading the characters explain things like why it's all happening, and stuff like that. I know that's necessary, but way too much time is spent explaining it. It's like "okay, you could've explained that in a much shorter way and then put more action there." It becomes a little bit of a waste of space in the book and because of that, parts of the book are a bit slower, making them harder to get through. Most of these parts are in the second half of the book, and it's not a lot, so don't worry too much about it. Now for characters. I thought the main characters: Jacob, his dad, his grandpa, Miss Peregrine, and Emma all had nice depth to them. Those characters were well-written. Also, there's a very minor character who's only in the first chapter that is really awesome, too. His name is Ricky, and even though he is an extremely minor, barely-there character, I still think he's my favorite in the whole book. He is described as being kind of a flamboyant punk douchebag, and the lines he has are really funny. Also, Jacob (who, btw, is Ricky's friend) explains some funny stuff that Ricky does. For example, Ricky has a really crappy old truck and he once let people pay him to beat the crap out of it. Hilarious! One line in the book I really like is when Jacob says that Ricky was his best friend, "which is a less pathetic way of saying he was my only friend." That was kind of sad, but also funny. I'm kind of torn about my opinion of how the book ended. On one hand, it ended in a way that gives hope for the main characters, but still doesn't wrap everything up and let you know everyone's gonna be okay. On the other hand, that leaves room for a sequel. And, if I'm not mistaken, Ransom Riggs is already working on getting a sequel written. Another thing: earlier I mentioned how the photographs are all real, right? Well, here's how it went: Ransom Riggs got a team together and all they did was look for old photographs that were strange, eerie, creepy, etc and Riggs wrote the entire story around those pictures. Because of that, however, I felt like there were some parts of the story that didn't flow very well. There were a few times where it was like "ok and this happened like this because here's the picture to go along with it" you know what I mean? Maybe you'll have to read the book to understand what I'm saying there. Ooh, one more thing: the other main reason I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 is that I saw some spelling and grammar mistakes in the book. One I can think of right now is there was a spot where the word "may" was used when it should've been "my." That happens a few more times. Editing mistakes like that, however, aren't a problem with the author or the book, but the editors. So anyway, there's my review of this book. I did enjoy it and I do recommend it. It's appropriate for pretty much anyone except maybe real young kids because there is a little bit of language and violence.

Saif Xie lietoo2010 — This is still my favorite McCarthy book by a really big margin. It is enjoyable to read, not so ridiculously dense it's unmanagable and not nearly as dark as his later stories. I might be the only one in America but I liked the movie too.
