TOP 5 WEDNESDAY | FAVOURITE FIRST SENTENCES

In this Top 5 Wednesday we discuss our favourite first sentences in a book. Now there were only two first sentences which I immediately knew I was going to mention. For the other three I had to open almost every book and read the first sentence of and be the judge. Here are my 5 favourite first sentences.

BOOK REVIEW | MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN BY RANSOM RIGGS

Title: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Author: Ransom Riggs
Published: 2011
Language: English
Pages: 352
Rating: 5/5

I have been doubting that I would ever find a book that would give me the same feeling as I got when reading Harry Potter, but I think I found a new series!

In 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' we follow Jacob. A young boy who always sed to listen to the fairytale-ish stories of his grandfather. After a horrific incident things are shaken up. Jacob soon is discovering a remote island along the coast of Wales, where he discovers the ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

This book was definitely a 5/5 star read for me from beginning until the end. I read that some people had trouble with the fact that the build-up to the action took to long. What I find was that Ransom Riggs really took his time to develop the characters and world building. 

This book contains a lot of fantasy and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. 

Of course, I can not, not mention the photo's. The first night I read some chapters it was storming outside and I was home alone, this gave such creepy vibe to the book. I can't wait to read the second and third book in this series but that probably won't be until autumn because I am not allowing myself to purchase anymore books for a little while.
