Let me start off by saying that this is entirely all my opinion. I am open to others' opinions, and I hope you are open to mine. And there are going to be spoilers in this review.

I recently finished reading "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." It is first in line out of six books. I am currently reading the second book, "Hollow City."

I decided to watch the movie adaptation to compare it to the book. I like doing that because I want to see if the movie captures the true essence of the book.

I have to tell you that the "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" movie does not live up to the book at all.

I'm sorry. I did not like it at all. There were so many changes that didn't fit into the continuity of the book so far.

Like, there is no inherent leader to the hollowgasts (hollows) and wrights and there was no fight at a carnival.

And the fact that Olive and Bronwyn's ages were flipped around as well as Olive and Emma's powers were flipped.

Now I understand that movie adaptations change some things but why did there need to be a carnival fight? It was not needed.

The year of the loop changed from 1940 to 1943.

I understand why the movie adaptation did not get a sequel.

I mean, the movie was an adaptation for a book that is first in a series and needed to be dealt with as such. Like, why not end the movie on a cliffhanger to see if there was any way for sequels for the other books in the series?

As I said, I read the book and I now wish that I hadn't watched the movie and that the movie didn't need to be made.

With all that being said, I rate the movie 3/10.

I rate the book 9.5/10.

I am currently reading the rest of the books and will give a detailed review once I am done with them.

Oh god, this again.

So, first and foremost, Jon's parents. I never really got two things. 1) why Sam had to be the one to tell Jon about this and 2) why it was of such importance for him to know NOW. I get that Jon is way more comfortable around Sam than anyone else at the moment, but wouldn't it be somewhat better to hear it from the ravens mouth? While his straight-to-the-punch attitude can be a little off-putting, Bran didn't really have a reason to pass this off to Sam the way he did. A guess is to spare Jon's feelings but, again, this is BRAN. Or, Bran3ER. What feelings?

And why now? How truly important is Jon knowing the truth after all these years? What difference would it make? Well, as Sam suggested, he could challenge Daenerys for the Throne as it would just as well be his birthright. But Jon doesn't have any interest in that...right?

So the Jon and Arya reunion is the one we've all been looking forward to the most (either that or the Hound/Arya reunion) all last season. An interesting point is how many important conversations are being held in the presence of the Weirwood tree. Anyway, that whole scene was beautiful, and loooong awaited, but maybe not if you listen closely. One of the things I hated about the last season was the relationship dynamics between Sansa and Arya. While the last episode kind of put them on more equal ground, it was still hard to say whether they got over what they needed to get over. This scene in front of the Weirwood solidifies it. Arya was NOT about to let Jon get away with complaining about Sansa. She recognized that everything Sansa was doing was to the eventual benefit of House Stark, even if Jon couldn't see that. This does kind of trouble me, as we've seen how close Jon and Sansa have become over these past couple of seasons, to how he speaks about/to her this episode. One can tell he's spending alot of time with Dany, maybe more than he should be. Of course playful dragon rides aside, look at his reaction when Sam tells him about what she did to his father and brother. He immediately defends her, he NEEDS her, despite the fact that her arrogance and his lack of planning is the reason they have to doublestep to meet the Nights King in the first place (the Army of the Dead wouldn't be nearly as close to Winterfell if someone hadn't basically thrown them a dragon). Now, I'm not saying he's gonna turn on his family (well, the ones he was raised with) anytime soon, but if he has to choose between his cousins and his aunt, I wouldn't be surprised about who he picks.

Cersei... ugh. There is only one direction that train is going in and thats Hell. My question is, who is she gonna take with her? Beside Euron being the only other person on her side right now, she still has a good bit of the Lannister under her control. My main worry (and what I would do if i were her) is trapping the Starks while they're at their weakest. She knows about the walkers now, and that may very well be everyone's downfall. We (the audience), as well as the North, know she never planned on helping, and knowing how long this girl can hold a grudge, it's no surprise to see her in constant correspondence with Euron. I know she plans on attacking all of her enemies at once while they're half dead from fighting on the Northern front, the issue now is just WHEN. Too soon and she risks killing her own people unnecessarily via Walkers. Wait too long and that gives the North a chance to recuperate which would kill her own people, unnecessarily. This is actually an interesting thing to watch, as Cersei has seemingly been slipping ever closer to Mad Queen faster than Daenerys is. Though with the way the episodes are lined up, more than likely she'll wait for AFTER the main battle to move. How long after, well, that's on her.
