Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads Synopsis:

Fly away with Peter Pan to the enchanted island of Neverland! This first chapter book adaptation of the classic novel, originally published in 1911, tells the story of the boy who never grows up. And when they join Peter on his magical island, Wendy and her brothers are in for exciting encounters with mermaids, an Indian princess, and pirates! Let the amazing adventures begin!

My Review:

Just a cute fairytale about growing up and never growing up, make believe, killing pirates, snotty mermaids, jealousy, war, and a ticking gator.

This was fluffy, and my only complaint was that within the beginning of the story, Wendy kept trying to kiss Peter. I mean c'mon woman, you want to make out with the first boy to crawl through your window, have a little dignity. I suppose I cannot blame Tinker Bell's interference, I'm protective of my friends too, although she had ulterior motives.



I'd recommend this book if you want a blast from the past, and something easy and quick!

Favorite Quotes:
