A review by marianneereads
Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie
4.0
I can't review this book.
I've opened and closed this webpage so many times trying to gather my thoughts, that I'm pretty sure they're never going to get gathered. I can't believe I liked it as much as I did. I started off hating it and now I love it.
All I have to say is this: If you think the movie was great, just read the book. It's completely different, but better. The book won't make you look at the boy that never grows up the same as you saw him in the movie. This is both good and bad, but it isn't J.M. Barrie's fault, it's more Disney's fault. Curse you, Disney movies! I'm just kidding. I love Disney movies, so no matter how much they distort reality, I'll always love them.
To read this book you must always remember that books and movies exist in two different dimensions (metaphorically, of course). Don't expect to see the movie and think that you already read the book. You didn't. Don't read the book and then expect the movie to be exactly the same, because it won't. Just... do both. You won't be dissapointed. Trust me.
My favorite quote is taken from this book, and I never knew it before I read it.

“You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.”
