Okay...guys, I really want to write a Peter Pan retelling now...THEY'RE SO MUCH FUN.
High Lights
- This book...SO. MANY. GOOD. THINGS.
- Ashley is a SUPER COOL main character, and I feel like she was super relatable and normal, you know?
- Peter of course, was wonderful. Don't really need to explain why.
- The Lost Boys are MY FAVORITE. I loved them all, each in there special way. Dibs was annoyingly entertaining, And at the end IT ONLY MADE ME LOVE HIM MORE. He just misses his mom, guys, c'mon. Prank was hilarious, Button is the most precious thing, and Kyle...well, he's Kyle, to be sure. XD
- It was really fast-paced! It just kept jumping from one thing to the next, leaving me on the edge, waiting to see what happens next.
- I want a polaroid camera.
- And also a special whistle I can use to call Peter whenever I want. That would be nice.
Low Lights
- I really wish there would've been more done with pirates. I mean, they're a big part of the book, but I felt like they were just...I don't know. I guess I just like Hook A LOT so I wanted to see him be a bigger part of the story. (like in Peter Pan in Scarlet)
- Nothing else, really.
Conclusion
This was a fun, quick read, that I LOVED TO PIECES. A friend recommended this book to me a loooong time ago, and I remember reading it and LOVING it. Well, that hasn't changed, even after a reread. If you love Peter Pan, then PLEASE check this book out.
