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 Though some of its features are long out of date, the story itself is timeless.

This story is far more strange than I expected. The narrator editorializes in a peculiar way, the family nurse is a dog, and the story contains a surprising amount of cavalier murder.

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.

Considering what the movie contains, I shouldn't have been so shocked by the racism in the book but here we are. So much for a beloved childhood classic.
