Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar childeren by Ransom Riggs

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 photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Looking at its cover you might think what is this book about, yes the title gives away its an home for peculiar childeren. But that is about it.

I had seen it an mutiply in book stores but I sort off couldn't buy it, afraid of it being an horror book, I honestly dislike horror a lot. But curiosity overtook me and with my birthday money I ordered it.

Yes I did not read it at night afraid of hearing and seeing things that were not there. (Yes I tend to do that after I read or seen something that is quite scary)

The book itself suprised me, it is an really good, alluring story that pulls you in once you have started. The vintage photography that is in the book, adds just an bit more to the story in the way that you can actually see what they are talking about. The charachters itself are also unique in their own way and somehow I would have loved to meet them myself if this was real, they could proivde you with an unique vieuw on the world itself.

Ofcourse there are a few small dislikes from my part, but they just are so, oh so tiny. 

First off I bought this book without googeling so I was really mindset on the idea that this might have been an one piece book, no series. But after some googeling I found out it was just an another serie. (I don't mind, trust me but I told myself I couldn't buy anymore series)

The second is that, The book is gonna be turned into an movie. (wich book isnt these days right??)

About it becoming an movie i would have been really excited it it was some unknown director with an unique vieuw on it, but Tim burton is directing it. Yes it might become an very unique movie with his vieuw on things, but maybe it will become and to big of an hollywood production, on that part I have an serious dislike.

Book Review: Torn by Amanda Hocking

Acknowledging that she was different from everyone else wasn't difficult for Wendy Everly - she'd always felt like an outsider. But a new world and new family is a hard for any girl to accept easily. Leaving behind the mysterious country of her birth, she is determined to fit back into normal life. But the world she's left behind won't let her go that easily ... 

Kidnapped and imprisoned by her true family's enemies, Wendy soon learns that the lines between good and evil aren't as defined as she thought. And those things she'd taken for granted may have been lies all along. With the help of the dangerously attractive Loki, she escapes back to the safety of Forening -- only to be confronted by a new threat. 

It's time to make a choice -- can she put aside her personal feelings for the sake of her country? Torn between duty and love she must make a choice that could destroy her one chance at true happiness. 

Yes I finished them, all of them in almost one day. Yes you may think I am crazy but these book are just so good. Torn picks up from where it left off at switched. You can go right back into the story, it explains subtile what had happend in switched (in case you didn't read them back to back like it did)

It is a good way of explaining those things so subtle and light cause diving back into a detailed summary of the entire previous book gives you a set back and makes you think like, I already read that.

Well in this book we meet a few new charachters of wich I won't spoil like promissed but there is one charachter named loki on wich I had to laugh. Not because he is so hilarious in the books but because of his name. I couldn't get the image of loki from the avengers out of my head, thats stupid right. Thank god I managed to put that away and create a new charachter in my head that does fit the loki in this book.

So again a page turner for people to enjoy, I can repeat it over and over again but I can only say a must read and stay tuned for a review about the last instalment in the trilogy, Ascend.

Book for a fan: Harry Potter film Wizardy

A book for a fan, that is what I always say anbout this book. Its a book about the film wizardy of harry potter, It has been created by the creative team behind the celebrated movie series. 

What you will find in the book is pages about sets, charachters, even creatures. It is an amazing book to find out how things have been created. Not only pictures and a story to inform you about it but there are also some great features of little trinkets.

I have come across a small version of the marauders map, the yule bal invintation (as shown above), potion stickers, candy boxes, Proclamations and what not, there is so much in there to look at and to get a little extra into believing this great world.

The only sad part about is, is that it has only giving you a sneak peek into Deathly Hallows part 2. There are some great set pictures but that is all. Even above all of that is that last part just a tiny fragment of the entire series that i don't mind. 

So if your a big fan and you are searching for an extra way to add a bit more to your collection, this is a great piece to have on you hands. I sure do not regret buying it for a whole 2 seconds.

Book Review: Switched by Amanda Hocking

Wendy Everly knew she was different the day her mother tried to kill her and accused her of having been switched at birth. Although certain she's not the monster her mother claims she is - she does feel that she doesn't quite fit in...

She's bored and frustrated by her small town life - and then there's the secret that she can't tell anyone. Her mysterious ability - she can influence people's decisions, without knowing how, or why ...

When the intense and darkly handsome newcomer Finn suddenly turns up at her bedroom window one night - her world is turned upside down. He holds the key to her past, the answers to her strange powers and is the doorway to a place she never imagined could exist. Forening, the home of the Trylle. 

Finally everything makes sense. Among the Trylle, Wendy is not just different, but special. But what marks her out as chosen for greatness in this world also places her in grave danger. With everything around her changing, Finn is the only person she can trust. But dark forces are conspiring - not only to separate them, but to see the downfall everything that Wendy cares about. 

The fate of Forening rests in Wendy's hands, and the decisions she and Finn make could change all their lives forever ...

Buying the entire Trylle trilogy hasn't been a bad decision at all. I just bought them not knowing what to expect in them. I had read so much over the years, most things filled with magic, fallen angels or vampires. Ofcourse I am not hooked on only those genres but in a way they always appeal to me and always will. 

Starting in Switched you jump right back to eleven years in the past. To get to know Wendy her past and its sort of cruesome, I mean what mother will kill her kid right. Only Psycho ones but yeah.

Then you go back to highschool, a troubled teen and everything. You get to know wendy very well so soon. She is a very intresting charachter and you want to know why she does certain things or why she behaves like that. When we meet finn, he sounds jsut like your average stalker teen but you even get to know him better as the book moves allong.

Besides Finn and Wendy you meet a whole line of new charachters, Matt, Rhys, Willa, Aurora, Tove and so many more but it is not hard to remember them all one by one. 

It is to not spoil when I talk about this book cause it is different. Amanda Hocking created a whole new world people could drown themselfs in and it is appealing. It is like fairy tale meets magic in a secret town hidden close by Minnesota. A whole new legend to believe in. It did blew away my mind and I lost myself in the books, not being able to put them down.

Now that I am also finished with Torn, the second book in this trilogy I will most certainly jump start into Ascend the thirth and final book. Can't wait what is in store for me.

At the end of the books there is a feature of new material but I haven't read those yet since I first want to finish the trilogly by itself.

If my opinion counts for you then I have to say a must read!

Book Review: Fifty Shades of Grey By E L James

My second book Review, Its about Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James I know that this book is both loved and hated in equel measurments. So please if your from the hate side be so kind to keep your comments nice cause there are people out there who love them and identify themselfs with this book. I am not bashing the books you love am I ;) 

I don't remember where I found these books and how I came across them, Maybe someone mentioned it on twitter but yes those are minor details. I googled them and was curious like most people. As we speak now i've read each book three times so reviews about those other two are to come as well.

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Above is what the back says about it, hmm the first part sounds like some kind of an adult novel and what does that 'on his own terms' mean. If you look at the second part of we find erotic and a hesistate Ana. Dark desires? It doesn't give to much away does it.

To say at least the book starts very much innocent, just the progress of Ana and Christian who get to know each other. It isn't that intresting.When you move along there comes more and more things that are not normal, in a way, Christian is bossy, very bossy and controling (Hmm most of us would run wouldn't they, I hate controling men) He doesn't do hearts and flowers and that also seems a little off to most people. Well yeah what ever happens after discussing of contracts (yes what contracts you wonder) and signing contracts and lots of negotiations you will end up with a lot of erotic reading material. If it is in or out of your book you must find out yourself.

My opinion is that I loved the book and that some part in me could relate to what was written into those pages but that is something personal I wont feel comfortable putting online in this way ;) The whole BDSM part in this book isnt a good reflection of how it really is. I've heard from people who are included in a Dom/sub relationship that this isn't BSM at all.., So Believe those people not the books!

Yes I KNOW the grammer in these books isn't up to the standard of most people in the world but it got published and people love it so yes. Me I am not bothered by them.

Yes what is there more to say about them, page turner if your into it. Its addicting and you want to read book 2 as fast as possible due to the end of the first book. 

So beware ;)
