I consider myself a pretty average reader when it comes to timing. I read
Miss Peregrine's in 2 days.
Miss Peregrine's is a story following Jacob Portman, a teenager who witnessed his grandfathers death by what everyone is telling him is a make-believe creature. After countless times of describing the creature that haunts his dreams, his therapist is the one to really convince him its just shock from witnessing his grandfathers death, a coping mechanism. Grandfather Portman's dying words lead Jacob to a book, which leads him to a letter, and eventually to the island where the children in pictures appearing throughout the book were only supposed to be real in Grandpa Portman's stories. One of the best parts of the book are the creepy pictures that appear after each of the children are described.
I would recommend
Miss Peregrine's to pretty much anyone. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, so I only read when the sun was up. I can't wait to get the sequel,
Hollow City.

OMG I completely agree with you post on how I don't like reading like scary books before I sleep. They. Give. Me. Nightmares. Other than that I feel you give a really good description about the book, and I might consider reading this book.
