Book v. Film: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

I absolutely love how the film portrays Jake in the beginning (the Florida introductory part).

And by “absolutely love” I mean totally hate.

Film!Jake is “nice guy still somehow friendless” which is a trope that can honestly fucking die.

And this totally sucks because in doing this film viewers completely miss out on “petulant teen” Book!Jake — who does have a friend, by the way, and is infinitely more entertaining.

Update: The Raven Boys / The Dream Thieves

I didn’t sleep last night because of The Raven Boys! It was so fucking great I cannot believe how long it took me to actually give that book a proper chance!

Then I discovered the second book (Dream Thieves) can’t be checked out for at least a week so I got desperate and am now listening to Will Patton mispronounce words on the audio book because I absolutely cannot wait a week…
