Historia
After a day of being dumped - twice - and accidentally killing a goose, a young woman yearns for a tropical vacation far away from the chaos of her life. Instead, her plans are thrown off course by her best friend’s four-year-old deaf-mute son, thrust into her reluctant care. But when the boy chooses the winning numbers for a lottery ticket, the two of them set off on a road trip across Iceland with a glove compartment stuffed full of their jackpot earnings.

A Very Quiet, Enjoyable Book

A heroine of note whose triumph is self discovery.
Revisado: 08-22-19
The main voice in the book is a heroine that is exploring her past, her future, and the life of a woman in transition. She is clear and unemotional, but not without feeling. She has a rational solidity that observes her life with a comfortable scrutiny whereby she learns who she truly is and explores what it means to be a mother, daughter, and lover.
I find it interesting that the author writes a juxtaposition in the cliche of characters. The men in this story are are the more emotional and sentimental, where the woman is almost stoic, but still retains depth. She sees things just as they are, even if they are only her daydreams. This gives her the ability to accept change, both outward and inside herself, with grace and without attachment.
I will think fondly of this book for a long time to come.

A great book with tons of informaion. A bit repetitive and the voice was a bit monotone. But overall the information made this 5 stars.

Historia
This second novel in the Miss Peregine's Home for Peculiar Children series 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.

Less than the first but not bad.
Revisado: 12-10-16
The first book was a wild intriduction to the Peculiar world. The second book feels like it was meant to carry the story. It has crucial detail, but could have been three or four chapters in a better book. However, still worth a read even if you skip ahead some here and there. The third book should be an interestung ending for the whole at this rate, especially with the last disclosure in the last scene in this book.

David Carradine's voice is Sal Paradise.

I have read this book several times. I still cried when Carradine read the last lines. Perfect.
