Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children by Ramson Riggs

Quatrième de couverture: 

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children;, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photographyMiss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

 

Mon avis:

 

Un mélange de vraies photographies et de fiction.

Après la mort tragique de son grand père Jacob part à la recherche de son passé et découvre Miss Pérégrine et ses enfants particuliers.

 

Une histoire qui m'avais vraiment tenté mais tentation qui à malheureusement disparue une fois le livre ouvert.

J'ai trouvé l'histoire trainant vraiment en longueur. Je me suis ennuyé et même du faire une pause de quelques semaines pour retrouver la motivation de le finir.

Je vais quand même lire les deux autres tomes car je suis curieuse de ce qui va ce passé et voir le film aussi car j'aime Tim Burton mais je ne vais pas me presser.

In English:

A mix of real photographs and fiction.

After the tragic death of his grandfather Jacob goes on an adventure to look in his past and discover Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children.

A story that I was really tempted to get into but the temptation unfortunately vanished once I opened the book.

I found the story really long. I was so bored I had to take a few weeks break to find the motivation to open the book again.

I am still going to read the other two books because I am curious of what is going to happen next et I will watch the film because I love Tim Burton but I'm not going to rush into it.
