I didn't care for the majority of the book. There were a few chapters around the middle to the end of Peter Pan that were really wonderful, though.
The reasons I didn't care for the book were that the writing style was really different, especially in the beginning of Peter Pan. It felt like the author was trying to be playful but I found it to be annoying. Mr. Darling was completely unlikeable. Peter Pan's personality was also generally unlikeable.
Reading Kensington Gardens was a totally different type of experience. It did help explain some things about Peter's background with fairies and birds, but overall left me wondering about what happened in between that book and Peter Pan that made him decide to go to Neverland and also wonder what happened to his goat.
