I was surprised by how well I knew the story, even though the Disney version is definitely less gruesome. It was entertaining to read, but I did not really connect to the story or any of the characters. 
Having read this for book club, I enjoyed the discussion about the writing style and whether or not the whole Peter Pan and Neverland event was a dream or not.

Peter is a terrible child. Wendy is forced into heteronormative mommyhood. First Peoples are made into racial stereotypes (time context obviously, BUT STILL). Basically, this is all the things I don't like packaged into a "children's book." It seriously lacked Christopher Walken's drunken acting, which added some needed hilarity to the 2014 live production.
