Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
5.0
I think I'd like to give this 5 stars. I can't exactly say why except that I feel like it.
This was surprisingly mesmerizing and difficult. I was not expecting this style of writing when I made the decision to have this as a read aloud for kids ages 8 and under. Even more unexpected is how much my children understood what was happening.
After starting out, I was doubting the decision to keep reading. The writing is more advanced and thorough than I anticipated, I thought I already knew the basic storyline, and it was, to be honest, sort of difficult to read aloud.
But I found so much more in this than I ever realized was in the story of Peter Pan. We read the last hundred pages in one sitting. I was mesmerized. There is so much to pick apart and I believe I'll be thinking about it for quite awhile.
The kids got a lot from it but I think adults will find even more. It's not often that I write down quotes from fictional books but this was one of them.
