I have been meaning to read that book for quite some time. I love the idea of Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up as I never wanted either. Sadly, this isn't how things work... Tiger Lily is a magical tale. It's a love story above all. About your first love and how it defines you. And i...

Loved this book. I actually finished it a couple of weeks ago and this is my first chance to sit and write about it. The characters and story were great, it kept me interested the entire time. It was a really nice new take on the Peter Pan story. My favorite part is that it is told in first person b...

When I was a kid, my favorite book was Peter Pan—the original, not the Disney adaptation or the musical. I read it over and over, so when I saw a book purporting to tell the story of Tiger Lily, as narrated by Tinker Bell, it seemed like a natural fit. I love books that re-imagine classic literature...

This was so beautiful. And heartbreaking. I didn't cry while reading, but after finishing I felt a big, gaping hole in my heart. Tiger Lily is a really sad and dark story, but it also has its moments of light. I really like all the characters. They're all so complex and developed. Tiger Lily is a ...

I wanted to read this book for a long time — so long that, after I started it and a friend told me it wasn’t worth my time, I insisted that I soldier on, anyway. I don’t regret finishing it, but it wasn’t necessarily worth the wait. What sticks with me the most is the book’s vivid portrayal of Tig...

I've never read Peter Pan, so my experience with this story is limited to the Disney cartoon version. That being said, I liked this version of the story. I think I may have gotten more out of this version had I read Peter Pan first, but it's not necessary. Tinker Bell is the narrator and you learn a...

I didn't love this book and didn't hate it. I had very high expectations based on all the reviews I've read. When I picked it up I would fly through it but after I put it down I had a hard time picking it back up again. Some parts seemed to drag and others went by too quickly. Overall it was good bu...

Other reviews at The Book Babe's Reads. It's the two of them, jumbled up and broken apart into confused pieces, and not really understanding, themselves, what they were doing. To be completely honest with y'all, I've been sitting here and staring at the computer for about ten minutes. I literall...

They said this has a bittersweet end, and with that fact laid out in the open for me to expect, might as well have myself prepared. Still, I cried. It seems Tiger Lily took it a lot better than I did. This retelling had me hating the version of Wendy Darling here. I mean, I've always wanted Wendy to...

Apparently a ton of people like this book from what I can tell on the Book Page, but I am not one of them. I have given this book my requisite 30 pages plus a bit to see if it is something that will engage and entertain me. Nope.My Main Problems:- The NarratorTinker Belle is the narrator. That is an...
