”The sequel to the New York Times best seller” they said in the library and I took the book. I read the book called Hollow city, by Ransom Riggs. It was published in 2014. The Hollow city is the second novel of Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. And those two books about the peculiar children are the most famous books from the Ransom Riggs.
I have to say that I have little crush on Ransom Ring. I have watched a few of his interviews and I noticed that he is a smart guy and I like his lifestyle. But back to the case. I really like his writing style. With his mysterious and creepy style of writing, Riggs wrote a good horror book.
The book tells about 10 peculiar children’s life ( Jacob, Emma, Bronwyn, Millard, Horace, Olive, Enoch, Hugh, Claire, Fiona) they all have some peculiar talent. For example Horace suffers from premonitory visions and dreams.
The plot is simple. the children from Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children are trying to find a cure for their headmistress. On their journey for that well-defined medicine or what ever strange kind of cure they face lot’s of adversities. And they have to learn how to trust each other in that war-torn world full of strange phenomenons.
The language of the book is easy but there are lots of new and difficult words and the terms were from side to side. I think it could had been easier to understand those terms if I had read the first part. The narrator is one of the characters, one of the children.
The book is magnificent and formidable and I am especially fan of thrillers and books that tell about strange things. Reading a novel in English was hard and suffocating at first but when I got a hint of it the text just started to flow in my head and reading became more easier, almost no problem at all.
