Since we are apparently reviewing books strictly on the condition of the book on arrival. I give “A Peculiar Peril” 5 stars. The book arrived on time and in immaculate condition.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a YA Jeff Vandermeer book, but essentially this is over six-hundred pages of Jeff Vandermeer. If you like Jeff Vandermeer’s other books, you’ll probably love this. If you don’t know who Jeff Vandermeer is, you should know that unlike some writers of epic young adult fantasy, Jeff Vandermeer is an excellent prose stylist. He’s also incredibly imaginative, and leans into the weird pretty hard.
This book, like all his books, has its own style. It’s told in a sort of British-clever voice, and is at once that, and a send-up of that. There are also sections of this book that are just beautifully written, and caused me to go back over them just to see how they were put together to create the effect they have. There are plenty of likeable and strange characters, and the world being set up is full of unexpected surprises.
Although this book in some sense has the spine of a typical fantasy quest, the details and rules of the world being built here really distinguish it from other fantasy. This book features talking marmots, Alistair Crowley, the disembodied head of Napoleon, and a slew of other characters I don’t want to spoil. As I understand it, A Peculiar Peril is either the first part of a duology, or the first two parts of a tetrology. In any case, the book comes to a satisfying close, but there are plenty of interesting plot threads that need resolving.
I can’t wait for the next book.

Audiobook A Peculiar Peril (Misadventures of Jonathan Lambshead #1) by Jeff VanderMeer
The book arrived absolutely disgusting. Filthy grease (fingerprints..?) smeared all over the dust jacket. Barely want to touch the book let alone read it. Pretty deflating for a product I pre-ordered.

Audio A Peculiar Peril (Misadventures of Jonathan Lambshead #1) narrated by Raphael Corkhill
VanderMeer lets his freak flag fly in this novel of adventure, intrigue, and… marmots. A peculiar peril draws from many classic fantasies but is also wholly unique (enter bodiless Napoleon as a secondary character). My only qualm is that occasionally, early on the dialogue felt forced, and in the middle of the book, the plot seemed to move along a little slowly. I can state however, that I have never read a book quite like it. A Peculiar Peril is funny, and although there are multiple beheadings, and the wholesale slaughter of rabid chipmunks (to power giant war machines of course), it almost always feels lighthearted. I do recommend, but just prepare yourself for unyielding weirdness.

Well, I don’t exactly know how to review this book. It started very well, I was caught by the novelty of the style
and the introduction of the charactar, then within a short time the plot became so complex and even wierd that I could not follow it. Maybe other readers can find there way with this book.
