It's been a while since I read Miss Peregrine; but. . . I don't really remember a thing about the book. It's really not memorable and the gimmick with the photos is just that: a gimmick. Nothing of value would've been lost if the photographs were dropped. IIRC, the story was written to accommodate the photos (lots of "there's this kid who can do this thing and here's a photo of that thing") versus coming up with a cool story and then inserting photos.
I haven't read the following books, have no desire to, and I'm not really interested in the movie--no matter how much I like Eva Green. (Though Penny Dreadful is coming back in a couple months!)
I will defend Vampire Academy as a good adaptation (probably the best IMO) even though it does stray from the source material. Whatever. I like that movie.
