Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #2)

by Ransom Riggs

[Hillary]

After reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children I could not wait to read Hollow City. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children left us on a cliffhanger. I was hoping that the second book would divulge all the info that I had from the first book but this book only adds MORE mysteries and questions.

I felt like I really connected with the people in the book. I am not sure if it is because I am deaf and have bipolar and i always felt "different" when I was younger but this is a book that I wish I could have read in my teen years. Being Deaf and able to talk I also felt like I was torn between two worlds like Jacob feels. I thought it was interesting how he dealt with that and even how some of the repercussions of his choices.  The book does not shy away and make everything all happy in the end but rather explores different issues and how they affect the children.

Despite it being a fantasy the world building was so good that it was completely believable. Ransom Riggs has some serious talent! Myths and old stories were woven seamlessly into a story that transported you to an alternate world. I could picture this world clearly in my mind.

I read this on my nook simple touch so I couldn't really see the pictures in the book. I am going to get a dead tree copy or maybe when I get my kindle fire for Christmas I will get a copy of that. This was the only drawback that I had. Other than that this was a near perfect book. I sooooo can't wait until the next book comes out.
