This is barely a children's book. I can see why few children read it. The adaptations are a lot more child-friendly, the book has a very high vocabulary and is downright creepy in many places, in a very Freudian way. That said, I'd recommend it to any adult looking for some light reading. Or who thinks Tinkerbell is charming.

I liked the book better than the disneyfied version of the story. If my memory serves, the book allows much more for Neverland to be entirely in the imagination, what with the boys and the "redskins" changing sides, and Wendy playing at being the mother. Tim Curry was pretty cool as the narrator of the audio book.
Charming, though the language is a little hard to follow for little children listening along.
Really loved this book & so did Margo (at almost 4 yrs) our version had great pictures on every other page.
like so many other stories that we've seen or read the "Disney versions" of, it was lovey to go back to the original story.

The magical aspect was captured nicely and there’s this sense of adventure that sort of stays with you throughout the book. Peter was a very flawed character, which made him more interesting to read about. Good book, but definitely has darker themes and tones underneath the surface.
Flat.
(Damn i read every sentence but just couldn’t absorb it. The fact that I had watched the movie was the only thing that kept me going. Also, Nana was really treated poorly in this family. She deserved so much better ;-;)
