This is one of my favorite book I have read this year. The way the authors mixed the old stories together was amazing. I saw how this story was like Peter Pan and yet its own story. The way it was written made me feel as if I am the characters experiencing each emotion. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Egyptian folklore and just folklore in general.

I didn't enjoy the writing style at all, seems like a young child wrote it, and also none of the characters were likeable. I think I got to page 30 but I didn't like it from page 6 forward.

I thought this made for a pretty good sequel, but I think that it's relation to Peter Pan as a sort of source material was not as well developed as it could have been. Overall I preferred the magic and such as it was presented in another Faust, but this was still a pretty good book.

I thought this was a very good book. I loved the plot and characters. I liked how they used Peter from the first book. I was hooked from page one. The adventure Peter, Wendy, and John went on was very interesting. It was a great twist on a classic tale. I can not wait to read the next book.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I'm an insane Peter Pan fan so anything about the story I pick up but this book was so far from the Peter Pan story that I just stopped trying to connect the two. Which was probably not what the authors were trying to accomplish in the first place but I was still hoping to see a little bit more of a connection than just the same names popping up. I really enjoyed the beginning of the book and I was getting into it pretty well but somewhere around the middle it just started to feel like it would never end.

I was so excited because I really do love myself a good Peter Pan retelling. However, I was left absolutely bewildered with this novel. I don't want to spoil anything for future readers but I do feel there was something left to be desired about this book. Smashing together two totally different things requires polishing and I don't think there was quite enough of it in this novel. I did find some aspects of the book quite enjoyable, but there were other aspects (such as the aforementioned spoiler I will not disclose) that confused me.

I definately like this one even better than the first. I have also realized with reading this that mummies scare me. Reading this didn't scare me as much as when I read House on Hackmans Hill by Joan Lowery Nixon back in sixth grade; I was scared stiff after reading that. Technically, Another Pan isn't supposed to be scary, but something about being in a dark room with something evil out to get you freaks me out. It is also kind of dumb of me to read this at night, which only puts me even more on edge.
