Members Reviews:
Good story, awful narrator
I will buy this book in paperback form as I honestly had to stop listening on Audible due to the terrible accents of the narrator.
It might be better to actually read this.
I really enjoyed the story and characters, and Jesse Bernstein does a fantastic job as the main character. Unfortunately his accents and voices for other characters were pretty terrible. Until the very end, when I was so absorbed by the story I didn't care, I dreaded every time Emma or Miss Peregrine needed to speak.
Great book. bad reader
the book was great but the narrator sucked. I barely made it through the book.
Fun and entertaining
Great story!! Make sure you look at the pdf pictures that are included with the book.
Did he just say MODMON???? (madman)
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I wouldn't change much about the story. It's wonderfully engaging and full of great fantasy mixed with reality and lots of suspense.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children?
The twist was good!
Would you be willing to try another one of Jesse Bernsteins performances?
No. This book is set in Wales. While most of the people are Welsh, there are also Irish, English, and Scottish characters. Every single character that Mr. Bernstein portrayed that wasn't American sounded like some horrible Dick Van Dyke version of cockney or like Jason Statham after a stroke. The children's voices reminded me of the Artful Dodger if he was developmentally disabled. It was painful and it took a lot to try to ignore it.
Do you think Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It has one. That part annoyed me.
