A great story, beautifully and brutally told, I'll definitly get more of the serious, a great twist on a childhood classic.

 This book was such a page-turner and it’s been a hot minute since I’ve sped through a book so fast. There were so many twists  that kept me on my feet, wondering and worrying about where the characters will end up.  And as for our protagonist, Jamie…you can practically feel the weight of all the years he’s lost by the time you turn the last page. 

 

What I liked the most about this book was that it just seamlessly fits with the original Peter Pan story. Original Peter was already a menace to begin with, but this book really casts that in a whole new light.

This book is very dark and bloody which I don’t usually go for but the concept was too interesting to pass up. I’m honestly in shock over this book and it’s ending. I never knew what to expect and Christina Henry was not afraid of anything when writing this. But I am afraid of this story. It was bone-chilling at times.

The ending of this book is so powerful I had to re-read it several times. Wow.

This is the origin story of

Captain Hook

This POV that I never would see as a kid who grew up watching Peter Pan. Like wow. It all makes sense now. Christina Henry wrote this so well. The twists?!! *chefs kiss* hella dark

I know my copy of Lost Boy has a “The Guardian” quote screaming at me that I won’t be able to look at Peter Pan in the same way anymore… But would it surprise someone if I already didn’t? 

I liked and still like the story of Peter Pan, a boy who is so determined to never grow up and stays forever 11 years old. However, I cannot find the best words to describe how well I think Henry did in retelling the story from a total different point of view and giving the children Peter takes to his island their own character traits. 
This really feels like a beginning of how the story could have, might have and perhaps has actually taken its turn between Peter and his very first Lost Boy.

I adored this peter pan twisted story. Jamie was such a good well-developed character that I really had empathy for. There were quotes in this book that really stuck with me. However, I will say it was much more gruesome than I was expecting.

Meine Sicht auf Peter Pan wurde sehr verändert, weshalb die Originalversion viel an Leichtigkeit und Magie einbüßt. Das finde ich sehr schade. Andererseits ist es meisterhaft, wie gut dieses Buch zu der Welt passt.
