"This is the third book in the series and it describes how peter gets captured by captain hook then the both of them gets captured by lord Ombra and taked to Rundoon. There he is taken in as a servent to the ruler of Rundoon, and forced to find the rest of the fallen pixie dust. if Ombra did get a hold of it the world would have-.....
Anyway this book really caught my attention after reading the fist book. This book is great exept there are some slow moving parts that I personaly think should have been a "deleted scene"."
"Peter's quiet life on the island is changed when the island is attacked by a murderous tribe. When Peter tries to come to the aid of the peaceful Mollusk tribe, he is downed by a poison arrow from the Scorpions. His weakened state allows him to be captured by the evil, reappearing shadow Lord Ombra who takes Peter to Rundoon. Peter's magical abilities to locate starstuff fall, a quality that he himself didn't even know he had, is needed for nefarious purposes by Ombra and the dark side he represents. Peter is not able to help rescue the Mollusk or himself and things begin to go from bad to worse very quickly when Leonard tries to intervene and is captured, too, along with his accomplice Bakari, and Molly and George have to fend for themselves after having stowed aboard her father's boat.
Following more than one plot line may deter some readers, but those that stick with it are in for many plot turns, death and destruction (and possible annihilation of the world), a touching conclusion and the humor of Peter's constant mistranslations of Tink's statements about anything having to do with Molly."
"If you've read the previous two books in the Peter Pan prequel trilogy, then you ought to take the time to read through this last book in the series. It follows the other books pretty logically, and it maintains the same sense of whimsy, adventure, and imagination that the previous books had. Unfortunately, it's a little dense with detail, and more than a little overlong in its presentation.
Let's be honest for a moment: Peter and the Starcatchers was really the only book necessary as a prequel to explain why Peter became the flying, ageless boy that we all know from fairy tales. My guess is that the story was originally planned as a standalone book, and after it proved to be popular, the publisher asked the authors to write the prequel into a trilogy. Think of how Star Wars was a nice, complete film in and of itself, and how The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi seemed a little ... well, not tacked on, but at least produced based on the first movie's success. The way the story develops over the course of the novels suggests that the Peter Pan prequels were written in much the same way.
To carry the Star Wars analogy a bit further, reading Peter and the Secret of Rundoon was a little like watching Revenge of the Sith - by the end, the authors seemed to be struggling to connect everything from the first two books to everything that followed after, resulting in some plot tangents that probably wouldn't have existed in a standard book. It's like they were trying to cram as much as possible into the final volume, making the end result a little messy. There seemed to be three major plots going on in the book, and each one resolved itself more or less independently from the others. In that sense, it was a little like watching the end of The Return of the King, with the viewer wondering when, exactly, the movie was going to officially end. And I probably should stop comparing the book with movie trilogies, lest I lose my point entirely.
So, it's a good read, and reminiscent of the previous two books in the series. If you can divorce yourself from the fact that the last two books in the trilogy really aren't necessary, and don't mind the meandering cross-wise plots, you should enjoy the book. At they very least, they're entertaining and compelling."
"This book was SOO good! I loved it, how the characters changed from the first book to this one, how Ombra's true purpose was finally explained, and exactly who "His Highness, King Zanbroff the Third" is. It filled in all the plot holes of the classic story of Peter Pan(except Tiger Lily. . .), and I liked how everything about the classic story was finally explained in a way J.M. Barrie never did.
SPOILERS: I was sad to say that I HATED the ending!!! I hated that James, and who I thought the Lost Boys would be, left, to be among the adults of the world, and to grow up. I hated the way it was left with Molly, and how she left her (who I think is) her one true love, for GEORGE!! I mean, I started liking George in this book, but when Molly chose him over Peter, who I think she liked a lot, it made me EXTREMELY angry!!! I knew it had to end that way, though, but I still was mad! Anyway, it's a fantastic book, and I think it's a classic that should be as famous as Harry Potter or Twilight, because I think it is and could be just as good!!!"
