Literary Art!
I don't care if this book was meant for young adult readers, I fell in love with these characters and the photos are amazing, albeit a little creepy.
Ransom Riggs quickly became one of my favorite authors, even though this was his first book, I love his idea of finding old photos and creating a fictional story to go along with them. His characters are likeable and the easy flow of his words on each page, drag you so deeply into the story that you quickly lose track of time. I missed a dinner meeting because I wanted to kill 20min and instead read for over an hour!
I've never wanted an island to be real, this badly. What an interesting setting, a mysterious island just off the coast of Whales. I can still imagine the bog and feel the icey fog around my skin.
Definitely a book for all ages! I can't wait till his next one comes out.
Enjoy Readers!
