Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
#1
Saw a commercial for the movie, so I picked up the book in the library. It started off strong, but the story is not original: gifted ("peculiar") individuals pursued by some evil. The author collects vintage photographs, and they inspired the story, so they are in the book. I hated that; it felt like it forced you to see the characters a certain way. I don't think anything was gained by it except to make the book thicker. Perhaps worst, it ended abruptly, since there are going to be sequels. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have read it.

Maybe the movie is better. I would skip this if I were you.

Eva Green. I'll see the movie on cable.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Well, now I can tell you about the movie, too.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
