I've always loved the story of Peter Pan and finally got around to reading the book. I think that it brought out the character of Peter more than I was used to and I really enjoyed that.
I'm just putting in a temporary review until I reread it in the future. All I can note amidst the volumes of those who have read this book is that it has a great opening line: "All children, except one, grow up." Isn't that a great start for a novel? Any who disagree we can meet, talk it over, you ...
1906 - 1911 - I read this a while back and somehow forgot to write anything whatever about it, or mark it as read, or anything. I remember liking it; it was fairly dark, moved fast. Can't remember if I thought there were weird sexual undertones or was surprised to find there weren't.Humph. I hate wh...

Fun turns of phrases throughout, and a refreshingly un-innocent view of childre...

Everyone who hasn’t been living under a rock knows the general gist of this story so I’ll spare the plot details. Despite being very familiar with this story I found that reading it in its original form felt completely fresh. And I believe that Peter and Wendy’s first exchange (Chapter 3: Come Away...
