Summary
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise bestseller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it “an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters.”
I gotta admit, this book completely validated what I was speculating about in my review of the initial novel. It has solidified its place as one of my all-time favorite series, right up there with Harry Potter, on my bookshelf! I highly suggest it to anyone who shares my taste in books!
The storyline of 'Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children' is fantastic, with well-developed characters and plenty of unexpected plot twists to keep the story engaging. It's a really enjoyable book! However, I found it frustrating that the children in the story continuously obeyed the authorities instead of utilizing their unique abilities to fight back. It just didn't make sense to me. But then again, they are just kids, so maybe it's understandable. I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the third book in the series. Kirby did a remarkable job bringing all the characters to life.
I really didn't want it to end, it had me hooked the whole way through. Usually, I'm not a fan of changing narrators, but this time it worked really well.
The story is solid and the characters are endearing, but this series has a tendency to leave its books unfinished. It feels as if it's one big book that has been divided into three separate volumes. The ending can leave you feeling quite bewildered.
This sequel is pretty awesome, with some great character development and a really solid plot. It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for something to listen to during your daily commute. Overall, I'd give it a perfect 10/10 rating and highly recommend it.
I found it quite challenging to adapt to the narrator in this sequel, especially after directly transitioning from the first book. The way he portrayed the voices didn't quite measure up to the narrator in the original story. I know it may seem insignificant, but it is what it is.
I absolutely adored the first book! The plot is incredibly original, captivating, and full of intrigue... However, I must say that the narration in this particular installment is nearly unbearable. It was such a struggle to get through, and I found myself wanting to switch it off within the first five minutes. Fingers crossed that the third book employs a different narrator.
I'm totally digging how the narrator brings the characters to life with his versatile voices! I devoured the first book in this series and instantly knew I had to experience the second one through audio. Let me tell you, this book is downright amazing! It takes you on a thrilling and captivating journey that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm eagerly counting down the days until the release of the third book!
Why did they have to switch up the narrators? The story itself is awesome, but the narrator they chose this time is really disappointing. Their voice lacks excitement and variation, making it feel dull and repetitive. They should definitely bring back the previous narrator, who did a much better job.
The characters in 'Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children' find themselves in a unique predicament - they are emotionally and perceptively stuck in their childhood, despite having lived through the same day for decades. This flaw, though fascinating, adds an excruciating layer of torment to their already complex lives.
