No era para nada lo que esperaba, y hasta la mitad del libro pensé que con suerte le iba a dar 3 estrellas pero ese final me encantó, me rompió el corazón en muchas partecitas y me enamoro más de lo que esperaba.

Subtle, adult humor

Wasn't expecting it to be so creepy. I think part of it is that it's written so childishly - but clearly written by an adult man. I don't know, I'm not calling the author a pedophile obviously, but it's creepy in that sort of way.

That being said, I liked it. And I liked that the fairies aren't just cutesy - it does feel like an actual faerie story

Loved the live action narration. You feel like you’re in Neverland.

Well, that was a lot sadder of an experience than I expected. I know most classics aren't as happy as the Disney movies should be. But, this was just very solemn and made me feel sad! I can't say I didn't enjoy it. But, it was just really sad.

Ok so I have to say this made me very uncomfortable a lot of the time. Just how Wendy was sexualized and described was so weird. Also Peter Pan was such a gaslighter and just weird towards Wendy and Mary. I think the audible version cut out a lot of the racist comments that I’ve seen other reviews mention. Other than those things the story is fun and the audible version was amazing which is why this is a three. I don’t think I really knew the story of Peter Pan so this was interesting to finally read.

I went into this book super duper excited to read one of my favorite stories that has been turned into many movies that I absolutely adored growing up.

As I began my journey, the book has everything I wanted, youthfulness, joy and hope, but as time went on we lost all of that, and it became dreary and sadly, boring. I WAS BORED OF SOMETHING I LOVED SO MUCH. That's a problem.

O f course, I love Peter Pan as a character, and Wendy is sweet as hell, but it lacked that certain something that really makes me enjoy a book. It lacked that spark, the pixie dust.

I can't say I hated this book, because their were parts I actually quite enjoyed, but overall it just wasn't for me. I mean, I'm sure there are others who agree with me.

Near the end I found myself skimming through pages, because I just WASN"T INTERESTED.

Hate on me if you want, but this book wasn't everything it should be, it had some great writing style in the beginning and it faded as I continued, and there were times were the plot didn't really move.

Tink was such a good part of the story, but even with her "You Silly Ass' lines, it couldn't make up for the sheer dreariness that is Peter Pan, the way the book is written by J.M. Barrie.
Completely disappointed.
