Description
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise best seller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled audiences and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it "an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters."
This second novel begins in 1940, immediately after the first book ended. Having escaped Miss Peregrine's island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other surprises.
Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy fans of all ages.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Commentaires
"[Heyborne] moves masterfully among the large cast of characters, creating distinct British voices for each of Jacob's peculiar friends. Heyborne's sense of timing, evident pleasure in the material, and ability to thrillingly execute the book's many dramatic moments will keep listeners riveted." (AudioFile)

So much better than the first!
Kirby Heyborne brought this book to life and gave it the dignity it deserves! After the dreadful narration of the first book I almost couldn't bear to listen to another go, but hoping it might be the narrator that was the problem and took a chance on the second. The difference was night and day. And, frankly, the book was much better written and, the characters better developed. Anyone that I was around while I listened to it fell into the story immediately and didn't want to stop listening. Just so enjoyable. Can't wait for the next.

Narrated terribly!!
I love the book. I quickly downloaded this one before reading any reviews. Had I known that it was narrated so bad, I wouldn't have even bothered. It sounds like he's reading poetry. He can't even bother to pronounce the names correctly, or even read with the accents.

Well Written, Not as Engrossing as #1
The first book was fascinating, learning about all the oddities and abilities of the children stuck in a perpetual time loop.
In Hollow City, the kids embark on a mission to locate another to turn Mrs. Peregrine's back to human form. Along the way, they meet new peculiars, whites, hollows, and have difficulty navigating the different time periods and obstacles associated with each. While this book is extremely well written, I wasn't engrossed and would have skipped it. I'm a non-sci-fi fan, but will dabble if I like the characters and/or storyline. This one was too much sci with no further character discovery and development. Better skipped or skim the book. Kirby Heyborne is not my favorite male narrator.

Peculiar and Suspenseful
A very well written suspenseful adventure! I do recommend that you read Book #1 first otherwise you might be a bit lost because of all the unique references in Peculiardom.
Lost of twist and turns. Very unique and creative.

Meh
Disappointed by narrator. He acts like he's reading poetry or something. He doesn't even try to do a female voice. They should have had the same guy from the first book narrate. He sounds old when doing the children's voices. He takes away from the story.

Different narrator
The first book had a very young sounding guy reading. This guy is a major change. It took me a while to get used to his voice but in the end it sounded right for the part.

A continuing story you have to read.
If you read the first book you should continue the journey with this book. I almost wished I had re-read the first book before I started this one so I could place everyone. This is a somewhat dark tale but since it is written about children or child like adults it seems more fun. Will there be a 3rd?

Pretty interesting
This series is pretty interesting. It would be great to be read aloud to children before bed, especially boys. All over good story line, causes the imagination to run.

More Peculiarities and no escaping from Wights
This is a great sequel to Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children. I mainly listened to this book, and the narrator did a fantastic job, but I browsed the book, too, not least to see all those peculiar photos which are part of the story.
There were a few surprises, and of course I had to buy the last volume in this trilogy, because this book ends with a mean cliffhanger. Btw, if you buy the audio book only, you can download the photos as PDF file, so you won't miss out on them. That's a great idea, I think.

Perfekt!
Ich schreibe normalerweise ja keine Rezensionen, hier muss ich aber mal was schreiben. Der Sprecher ist ein Künstler erster Güte. Sprache, Ausdruck und Umgang mit Dialekten ist der KNALLER! Die Story ist düster, ideenreich, voller Wendungen und einfach grossartig. Ich würde etwas vermissen, wenn ich dieses Hörbuch nicht gehört hätte.

Who wrote this book?
Cause it sounds nothing like the first one. Not just because of the different narrator (which I personally think has no talent at producing any tension). The story telling itself seems totally different. Bad sentence structure, lots of repeated words. Riggs certainly loves the words “and” and “which” it seems and tries to use them every other sentence.
Most of the read was a struggle

Sprecher
Der Sprecher ist wirklich gewöhnungsbedürftig, vor allem wenn man den ersten Teil (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) direkt davor gehört hat. Der Sprecher dort hat mir und meinem Mithörer besser gefallen.
Difficult to get used to the speaker, especially when you listened to the first novel right before. My co-listener and me liked that speaker more.

Spannende und interessante Story, aber..,
Die Story gefällt mir immer noch sehr gut. Sie ist stimmig und hat einige gute Twists. Leider wurde der Sprecher gewechselt, der zwar die verschiedenen 'Dialekte' sehr gut zeigt, aber eine meiner Meinung nach sehr nervige Intonation hat. Wirklich schade, da mir der erste Sprecher sehr gefallen hat.
