Ondanks dat je het verhaal van peter pan al kent , is het echt leuk om dit boek te lezen. Er zitten veel grappige dialogen in, veel diepgaande lagen die je beter begrijpt nu je ouder bent en er wordt op bepaalde momenten ook op een goede manier spanning opgebouwd. Verder is er een bijzondere maar leuke narrator aanwezig die je door het verhaal brengt. Ook ben ik de laatste 2 hoofdstukken nog verrast door hoe zielig het einde daadwerkelijk is. In de disney film was dat namelijk niet zo zielig. Ook is het leuk dat er door het hele boek kleine stukjes voorbij komen die niet te vinden zijn in de disney film en is het leuk dat je meer achtergrond krijgt over peter pan en hoe hij terecht is gekomen in neverland. En waar zijn haat naar moeders en opgroeien vandaan komt.

Ik had niet verwacht dat ik het boek zo leuk zou vinden dus dit was een leuke verrassing. En het is maar 150 bladzijden dus ik ben er zo doorheen gelezen :)

to be completely honest, i'm not sure i can give peter pan more than a one star rating. i understand and appreciate the theme of the novel, i enjoyed the fantasy elements, but nonetheless they are tainted by the RAMPANT misogyny and racism. it was BAD.

This book is beautifully written and reads like a bedtime story a parent reads to a child. However it is so incredibly racist that iI cannot imagine reading it to anyone you her than middle or high school just because the reader needs to be able to understand how to analyze the context of the books writing, the way this was written based on children’s stereotypical play (cowboys and Indians, pirates, and playing house) so even the stereotypes of the time are heightened. I would envision it as a literature unit where we could discuss things like time and place of writing, original intended audience, as well as the moral choices of modern directors when bringing such a script to the modern stage, etc.
