The language used to refer to indigenous people is very in keeping with what was acceptable at the time of the book being wrote (in terms of general racism and racial slurs) and so would be deemed as offensive today which may influence some people as to whether or not they want to pick this up.

- The prose was funnier than I thought it would be.
- Some parts were actually more graphic than I had expected it to be.
like the descriptions of pirates killing people - Definitely contains the same racist tropes I first learned about in the Disney film and actually contains racist slurs, which I was not expecting.
- I also didn’t expect to dislike Peter so much.

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 Though some of its features are long out of date, the story itself is timeless.
