As a kid, Jacob formed a special bond with his grandfather over his bizarre tales and photos of levitating girls and invisible boys. Now at 16, he is reeling from the old man's unexpected death. Then Jacob is given a mysterious letter that propels him on a journey to the remote Welsh island where his grandfather grew up. There, he finds the children from the photographs--alive and well--despite the islanders’ assertion that all were killed decades ago. As Jacob begins to unravel more about his grandfather’s childhood, he suspects he is being trailed by a monster only he can see. A haunting and out-of-the-ordinary read, debut author Ransom Rigg’s first-person narration is convincing and absorbing, and every detail he draws our eye to is deftly woven into an unforgettable whole. Interspersed with photos throughout, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a truly atmospheric novel with plot twists, turns, and surprises that will delight readers of any age.
Hi, I'm Ransom, and I like to tell stories. Sometimes I tell them with words, sometimes with pictures, often with both. I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. I started writing stories when I was young, on an old typewriter that jammed and longhand on legal pads. When I was a little older I got a camera for Christmas and became obsessed with photography, and when I was a little older still my friends and I came into possession of a half-broken video camera and began to make our own movies, starring ourselves, using our bedrooms and backyards for sets. I have loved writing stories and taking photographs and making movies ever since, and have endeavored to do all three.
因为看了蒂姆 波顿改编自这本书的奇幻电影预告片 :怪奇孤儿院。于是,一改往日电影后再原著的风格,这次先看了下原著。虽然一开始就弥漫着诡异的风格,但我真的觉得前头写的太冗长了,导致真正的故事高潮出现在二分之一处。书里面的照片都很不错,增添了读者的阅读趣味。但说...
评分黑白色的世界里,一个孤零零的女孩站在那里,纯洁的白色裙子……看起来就让人心疼,我想她不是一个具体的人,她是我们心灵的象征,是我们内心最柔软之处的象征。 是的,兰萨姆•里格斯的奇幻之旅是心灵之旅,个人认为它与哈利•波特并不相同,这是一部借助奇幻表现亲情及...
评分文Shirleysays 我有位朋友喜歌唱,但是只会唱开头部分,一到副歌准闭嘴;另一位朋友喜唱歌,但是只唱高潮部分,前半部一准儿地是伴奏音乐。俩人都是绝顶的麦霸,被授予“半首歌王”的劳动称号,俩人凑一起算是把一首歌能给整健全了。你别看这事儿搁在唱歌上行,大伙儿还当个...
评分在看过电影《哈利波特》、《X战警》之后,你相信这世界上有拥有超能力(魔法)的人存在吗?你如果以为那些都是虚幻的故事,那么,在读过有图有真相的《怪屋女孩》后,你还会这样认为吗? 《怪屋女孩》讲述的是一个奇幻惊悚的故事,作者别出心裁的把几十幅真实存在过的古老灵...
评分首先不得不吐槽一下。在拿到本书之前,由于受宣传文案和封面的影响,我一直误以为这是一本悬疑惊悚小说。读完之后才大呼上当:这分明是一本奇幻题材的儿童文学嘛。所以,准备当推理悬疑小说看的推理迷们可要睁大眼睛看清楚了,不要再被这本书那看似惊悚的封面和书名所误导了。...
太久没看这类小说还真的看不下去了....(蹲...照片还是很有趣的很有趣......(接下来还是弱弱等电影吧一旦接受了美艳的艾娃阿姨....
评分看懂好多!
评分前半部分半信半疑。后半部分没啥意思。我还是去补全安德游戏四部曲吧。
评分《佩小姐的奇幻城堡》原著 当初看这部电影的时候就被故事情节和作者创建的神奇世界所深深吸引,机缘巧合买到了这本英文原著,读完彻底颠覆我对电影的喜爱,原来书中的内容更加丰满和引人入胜,每个人物都刻画的生动有趣,文字优美而颇有深度。最有创意的一点就是书中穿插了作者搜集来的很多古怪的旧照片,更增添了故事的神秘色彩,不亏是电影专业出身的作家,视觉感超强。看到Goodreads上对本系列四本书的评分中,竟然是一本高于一本,非常期待下一个故事"Hollow City"。
评分有趣又減壓 感覺millard是個小天使 後面的採訪也很有意思
