I literally read this book in four days, during a working vacation week jammed with home repairs... it was that hard to put down. It's the debut offering of Ransom Riggs and one of the most original stories I've read in a long time. Using odd vintage photographs, the author weaves a story around the pictures that pulls the reader in, making the implausible realistic. In the vein of Stephen King in terms of weird and wonderful, there's plenty of action, lots of intrigue and some downright scary monsters, all centered around some peculiar children who should be dead and a young man who is just discovering his destiny. It was a New York Times #1 best seller and on the Best Seller List for a year.
