Ricardo Shimizu _icardo_himizu — I wanted to like this more than I did, which is not to say that I didn't thoroughly enjoy it. I did devour this is two days, after all. It's just... I think my expectations were too high. I kept looking for something more. Perhaps this 'more' will find its way into subsequent books, the release of which I eagerly anticipate. I think they worried that my grandfather would infect me with some incurable dreaminess from which I'd never recover - that these fantasies were somehow inoculating me against more practical ambitions - so one day my mother sat me down and explained that I couldn't become an explorer because everything in the world had already been discovered. I'd been born in the wrong century, and I felt cheated. Particularly around the beginning, I was definitely aware of the sort of haunted writing that also accompanies the author's charming documentary-style videos on YouTube. There's a great lilting quality to it. I don't hear that quality so much as the story progresses, but it could be an acclimation thing. And the photographs, of course, are a brilliant inclusion. Miss Peregrine felt a bit like a caricature, though the children - at once younger and older than expected - were all perfectly matched to their ripened wisdom and maturity in the confines of perpetual youth. However, I felt the protagonist, Jacob, wavered too much as I often had to remind myself that he was only 16 years old while other times he seemed almost tween-ish. Everything else in the story... hollows, wights, ymbrynes, loops scattered throughout time that remind me of a shifting apollonian gasket... I want more! It's a great start to a fun mythos that I can't wait to explore further. Prediction time! Jacob's dad, being an ornithologist, will be useful with the ymbrynes in future books. He may also find a subject for a book that he actually finishes, marketing it as fiction.
