"I loved every bit of it. It shows the innocence of being a child and the exuberance and ignorance it brings forth. It also talks about maturity and responsibility as seen in the disposition of Wendy being the mother of Peter and the rest of the lost boys during her stay at Never land. This book also points out that men and boys alike need girls and women and it is immortally embodied in this quote said by Peter Pan to Wendy, "One girl is of more use than twenty boys" So you see how women enchant and tame even the most arrogant and most opinionated as those of Peter Pan and the Lost boys. J.M Barrie points out also that even though children may yearn for the freedom to do everything they wish, still they would return to the caresses and presence of their parents. Peter Pan teaches us all that we should never be afraid to grow up and to accept responsibility and as children we should always show our gratitude and love to our parents. This should be read by all the bookworms on earth for it is truly a masterpiece."
"An all time classic that is read by millions, both adults and children. So much so it made into a movie. Here is the classic tale of Peter Pan and Wendy in a far away land of dreams and adventure! Reminesce your and their younger childhoods. Wonderful read!"
"I picked up what I thought would be a playful fairy tale and got just that; for I had forgotten about the cannibalistic witch in Hansel and Gretel, about the Sea Witch in The Little Mermaid, and about the Wolf in the original telling of Little Red Riding Hood. This is a haunting and horrific tale of abuse and neglect masked with the innocent ideals of childhood. It came to a chilling conclusion and will stay with me for quite a while.
I am quite impressed that the themes in this book were so elegantly masked as to double as a children's story as well as an adult story with very disturbing themes. I will keep my copy of this book, but it certainly won't be the first thing that I read to my daughter out-loud.
I must add that the metaphors the author used, and the sensitivity to language should be celebrated and I do not think it wrong to call this a classic. It is timeless and very real and applicable."
"I read this book to my daughter to put her down for naps and bed. It wasn't this particular edition, but this is the only one they have on the goodreads database.
This book is so messed up. I knew it would be right from the beginning when Wendy's mother somehow went inside her children's brains and organized their thoughts for them. I'm ashamed to say, but I was expecting this to be more like the Disney version. It wasn't at all. I was shocked at all the killing and gore going on. For a children's book, it sure is bloody. I do have to say that it is the single most imaginative story I have ever read. The part, where a fairy is born every time a baby has a first laugh, gets me right to the soul.
Speaking of fairies. Tinker Bell has quite a cult following especially now that these new movies are coming out about her. The way Tink is portrayed in the original version of Peter Pan is not flattering at all. In fact, she is my least favorite character. Beyond trying to kill Wendy, she is rude to everyone including Peter Pan. The phrase she uses the most is, "You silly ass." Of course, she saves Peter's life later, so I guess she's redeemed.
The way the redskins are portrayed is probably not considered politically correct these days. I think they were the most believable bad guys until Peter saved Tiger Lily, and they became allies.
The pirates were just funny. They were dumb and wishy washy in their loyalty to Hook. I don't really see how the children killed all the pirates coming out completely unscathed. For that matter, how could the children be so willing and excited to take another human life. Then after taking the life, they were more exhilarated by the fact that they were staying up past their bedtime.
It was also interesting to see Hooks ridiculous phobia of the crocodile. I think the crocodile is one of my favorite characters. The only way the boys could tell time was to follow the crocodile until the bell of the clock chimed. The croc's single minded determination to eat the rest of Hook was admirable.
The end of the book was very touching. It was like it was Wendy's legacy to all the girls in her line to become the mother of Peter Pan. That was a special privilege to them only."
