Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs Update

            Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is a very exciting book. I can honestly say this is the fastest I have read a non-required book. It has only been a week and I am already well over half way done and for me, that is a huge improvement. I think that the pictures in the book really contribute to the mood and setting. All of the pictures are in black and white. This gives them a sort of creepy look which is also your intended feel for the setting. When the main character is first going into the old abandoned house it is all torn and burned, with the pictures inside. This adds to the mystery factor of the book. Also when you see the pictures they each contribute a different feel to the story. Some make you feel curious, scared, or happy. Some even make you think “awww”. But mostly they make you feel a sense of understanding. Most of the pictures come after a section of the book where Riggs talks about them. His words are very descriptive, but then adding the picture after it makes it feel real. The pictures make you feel like the story is true and make you peer over your shoulder after every chapter of the book.
