The original peter pan is much more dark and intricate then the beloved disney movie we grew up with. I would say the closest adaptation would be the 2004 petter pan. All the characters have amazing traits. Most of all i was intrigued by Tiger Lily being the leader and was a fearsome opponent. Hooks back story is left to the imagination but is given very sad hints to his life. Peter is the most darkest character and i would say the true villian og the story. Peter is the embodiment of mommy issues and acts like a very violent toddler.

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 Though some of its features are long out of date, the story itself is timeless.

A funny jumble of a story. Interesting to see where Peter Pan began.
