This really reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Overall, it was nice to go on an adventure with the Lost Boys and visit Neverland, but at times I was a little confused.
The language used to refer to indigenous people is very in keeping with what was acceptable at the time of the book being wrote (in terms of general racism and racial slurs) and so would be deemed as offensive today which may influence some people as to whether or not they want to pick this up.

Surprising in many ways:
- The prose was funnier than I thought it would be.
- Some parts were actually more graphic than I had expected it to be.
like the descriptions of pirates killing people - Definitely contains the same racist tropes I first learned about in the Disney film and actually contains racist slurs, which I was not expecting.
- I also didn’t expect to dislike Peter so much.

Not what Disney led us to expect. It read at times as if the author watched the play and summarized it for the reader. The author also broke the 4th wall in ways that may have been amusing to audiences in the past, but read a bit awkwardly to me. Most of the characters were pretty flat, especially Wendy, whose primary character traits are wanting to be a mother and keep things tidy. It also just didn’t age well, and many phrases and characterizations of the inhabitants of Neverland are now very cringe-worthy to say the least. The end was sweet and earned the whole story a half star more. Wouldn’t recommend and put me in a bit of a reading slump, which is impressive for a book of less than 200 pages.

This book knows very well that it is a book, and a rather good one at that.
There's a reason this has been such a popular book over the years, though it's a little hard to put my finger on it. I've read it before, but only on my most recent reading did I realize how funny it is. This book made me laugh and cry in public. Though some of its features are long out of date, the story itself is timeless.

I think I enjoy concepts of Peter Pan, Neverland, lost boys, the plot beats of this story, etc. as themes in interpolations and retellings more than the actual reading experience of the source.
