Peter Pan: Peter and Wendy and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie
3.0
I remembered enjoying this story much more the first time I read it, and I’m honestly wondering if I even finished it that time.
The version of the book I have is ‘Peter and Wendy’ and ‘Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens’.
‘Peter and Wendy’ is much more enjoyable, and probably would have gotten a 4⭐️ rating, but the second story, ‘Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens’ dropped the overall rating to 3⭐️. It just didn’t have the same magical feeling as ‘Peter and Wendy’, and I struggled to get through it. For the rest of my review, I will just be talking about ‘Peter and Wendy’.
‘Peter and Wendy’ started off great. I really enjoyed the whimsy of this book, and thought it was very magical and enjoyable. As I continued reading, I just started to get a little bored with the story, but I think it was more the fact that I was ready to move on to another book. My attention for this book just ran out rather quickly.
I do feel this is a book that is better read slowly, so you can really understand the writing style and language, and just absorb it all.
I might revisit this book in the future, but probably will not reread ‘Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens’.
