Hello everyone!
Here is my first review of the summer, Peter Pan by J.M.Barrie
Rating: 3 stars
Finished on: 19th June 2013
Reading Challenge Book: 36
It’s the story that so many children are familiar with, especially thanks to Disney; the tale of Peter Pan and Neverland.
Peter Pan is a boy who refuses to grow up, living with the Lost Boys and the fairy Tinkerbell in Neverland, enemies with the notorious Captain Hook. He appears in the bedroom of siblings Wendy, John and Michael Darling, and together they go to Neverland to go on an adventure. Wendy takes on a motherly role to the Lost Boys, something which they have lacked for so long.
After a fight in the past with enemy Captain Hook, Peter Pan severed his hand off, leaving him with a hook in its place. The hand is then fed to a crocodile, who loves the taste so much that he follows Hook around with the hope of tasting him some more. It provided such a cool little back story to the widely known fact from the film about why Hook is so afraid of the ticking crocodile who swallowed a clock.
Overall, it was lovely to reconnect with a bit of childhood nostalgia and go back to the original 🙂
