Our plucky band makes it off the island and goes on a road trip. They are aided by magical friends and "gypsies" (wasn't entirely comfortable with how that group was portrayed). They are also betrayed. It's interestingly morbid and…

Hollow City is the sequel to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and even more eerie than the first book. The first novel covers Jacob Portman, a boy who stumbles into a world of “peculiar” people with strange abilities. However,…

I read this book for the 52 books in 52 weeks reading challenge. I used 2019 challenge prompt read a book with a teen as the main character. It is number two in the series. It doesn't end, so i can't wait to find out what happens next in…

Hollow City being the sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children provides even more bizarre adventures. The story is filled with twists and turns all around, all of them being unexpected and truly exciting. Throughout the book,…

This was the perfect addition to the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series. What I enjoyed most about most is that it made me experience a broad range of emotions. These emotions include being on the edge of my seat wondering what is…

This book was good. That said, I feel like the first book was better. In the first book, I had a solid sense of place and the rules. This second book seems to "and then, and then" the reader a bit. It's interesting; it's enjoyable. I will…

This is the second book in an unusual and creative teen fantasy series, a sequel to *Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children*. Riggs is a collector of weird photographs, found at garage sales and flea markets; photos of floating…

This book was a great lead-in from the first in the series. Fast paced, heart stopping, and the ending packs a huge punch. I enjoyed it more then the first book. Definitely pick up this series and read it.

Amazing book! The characters are all so interesting, different and unique. This was by far my favourite book of the four, (so far). It had the perfect balance of romance and action. I would totally recommend this book for fans of the…

I loved the first book and loved this one even more. The entire time I was reading I was thinking of how awesome of a movie it would be! I'm sad there is only one more in the series

The book 'Hollow City' by Ransom Riggs was an adventurous and suspenseful book to read. I was quite invested while reading it. Since most characters of the book seemed to be in their teenage years, it made me feel more connected to the…

I love how the author makes it so it's like it's in real life but we don't know anything about it.

Although I missed the storyline of Jacob's grandfather that sold my on the first book, this sequel was never-the-less compelling and thrilling. Although there were more dull scenes than the previous novel, the moments when I felt it was…

Not as strong or unique as the first book. Instead of enhancing the story by providing vintage photographs, the story was instead created around the photos themselves, which felt more like reaching than not. The plot was repetitious and…

I had to drag myself through this one. Of the 396 pages, nearly half are blank, section and chapter headings and copies of old photographs. (Do authors get paid by the page?) Thus, about 200 pages long with LOTS of white space, but it…

Firstly I feel disappointed with this book, it was not like the first one at all. It got darker, and it was plain irritating. The ending was annoying, as was the continually being captured. I think four times. It left me not wanting to…

This is a very good graphic novel depiction of Hollow City. Since I had already read the print version of the book, I was able to complete the graphic novel within 24 hours. The artwork complemented the story line really well.

I loved Hollow City more than I did book #1 in the series. It's a really, really good story.

This is my new series jag for this summer - think of crossing Harry Potter (magical and tainted with evil) with Series of Unfortunate Events (depressing) and add a big topping of horrific sprinkles. It's like riding a roller coaster…

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first (although #1 was still awesome) and I definitely recommend this to the group of people who are hesitant to continue this series... It was action-PACKED and humorous. Of course, because it…
