My one major criticism of the story is the ages of the main characters, Peter and Hook. While it is specified that Peter is 18 and legally an adult (more so than by 1800s England standards), it is never explicitly mentioned how old Hook is. I found this a bit troubling at times when reading because we all already have this previous image of the story in our heads, wether we read the classic or watched the Disney version. We all imagine Hook to be an older man while Peter is the boyish child. Throughout the book I was very confused as how old Hook was, in the beginning I thought he was in his 30s, then I thought he was 19, and by the end of the story based on subtle context clues and his personality I *guessed* he was at most 25. But then again, it is never specified and for all I know Hook could have easily been 18 or 19, which would have been a way more palatable age range between these two characters. And since it is established in the story that Peter knew Hook when he was a boy, I was also interested as to how old Hool was in their past interactions. Did Hook age in Neverland? Did he maintain the same age? These questions are never fully answered. And this lack of specification made certain scenes uncomfortable to read because I already had this previous understanding of the characters in my head.
