This extraordinary novel, a retelling of the Don Juan story, follows a rake's progress through Europe on the eve of the First World War. Written by the British art critic, essayist, and novelist Berger, who recently died at ninety, it's shot through with rich visual language, ominous invocations of the social and political forces about to tear the world apart, and erudite meditations on the nature of love, sex, and desire. Oh, and a few crude drawings of penises. This small press hit is delectably strange, combining old-timey found photos with buttoned-up, sepia-tinged prose — fittingly enough, since it’s set in the 1940s. But this isn’t a cozy, nostalgia-driven children’s fantasy, the sort of thing you’d turn to for a snug bedtime read. Debut author Ransom Riggs has a gift for the uncanny, to put it mildly, and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children abounds with hair-raising moments that read like Stephen King made PG-13, from haunted manors to tentacle-faced ghouls. Quentin Coldwater considers reality disappointing compared to the magical world of FIllory he keeps reading about. So when he’s unexpectedly enrolled in a secret college of magic, everything he’s ever dreamed of seems to come true.

New Adult vs.Young Adult The narrative centers on the artsy Sweetwine twins, who give us two separate strands of the same, twisty story. Sensitive painter Noah and gregarious sculptor Jude have been inseparable since their days in the womb. But by the time they’re sixteen, they’re no longer speaking. Part of the novel’s initial pleasure lies in figuring out the root of their estrangement.Yes, and I thought it was very interesting that Ness had taken the idea of interconnectivity and increased access to personal information to the very extreme. The idea of the ‘noise’ virus makes us wonder how different our personal relationships would be if everyone around us could hear our constant buzz of thoughts. The story follows Todd, who on the verge of his thirteenth birthday is told by his guardians to run away. With no knowledge of the world outside his town, Todd is surprised to find a girl (there are no girls in Prentisstown) who has no ‘noise’. It was such an intriguing idea, and together with Ness’s way of unraveling the mysterious plot around the Mayor of Prentisstown and Aaron, the maniacal preacher, the book was a fast paced and emotional read.

His characters are one of the elements which help drive the plot—the group dynamic creates passages of tension as well as humour which you just can’t help but laugh at!
