lindseythelibrarian 's review for:
Peter Pan
by J. M. Barrie
adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Obviously, this book is problematic (gender roles and racism combined) and very strange.
Brief Thoughts:
I think my main enjoyment from this story comes from the whimsical way it was written combined with my enjoyment and nostalgia for the Disney cartoon, live-action movie, and Robin Williams classic. Not to mention I remember being like Wendy myself (without the "motherly" instincts, and more with the crush).
Audio VersionThoughts:
The author, Vanessa Maroney, did a great job with the voices, though some of the Lost Boys sounded a bit similar to each other.
I'd recommend this too...
Regardless, this is a fun classic that I probably would only recommend to older children/ adults who've enjoyed the movie.
