DESCRIPTION:
heather patrick said Wow dark.. This was really well written. But I love Peter Pan. Like a lot. Believed in him as a child. I have collections of stuff of Peter Pan. This book broke my heart and mind. I do love reading twist in tales and this was a huge bleedy twist. And I do mean bleedy. If your a fan of the Adventurous little boy who fights pirates and plays game this isn't not him ! This is a mich darker take on how hook became hook. And boy it was heart breaking. It will bend your mind and Versions of Peter in a whole new way.. H.A.Lynn said Peter Lies!. I read this book in a day. I couldn’t put it down. The pacing and excitement of Neverland mischief and battles doesn’t slow down.Getting into Jamie’s head, seeing his compassion for the boys Peter doesn’t care about, and feeling his anger over Peter’s betrayal was emotionally provoking. I was cheering on Jamie the whole time, routing for Peter to fail.The story is dark, like Barrie’s original Peter Pan, since it leads up to Pan and Hook’s rivalry. If you didn’t like Peter’s character in the original, you prob. Kindle Customer said Not As Good As Alice, But Defnitely Worth Reading. This book isn't as good as Christina's "Alice" and "Red Queen" stories, but it's still a great read. Whereas the Alice series probably shouldn't be read by anyone younger than around 17, I felt that Lostboy could be read by a slightly younger crowd. (There's still blood and gore and fighting, but not like in the Alice story.) Overall, this was a great book and I can't wait for Christina's next novel!
One of these boys is called Jamie, and he was the first boy that Peter ever brought to the island. Jamie looks out for the boys and takes care of them. Jamie tries to keep them alive because to him they matter. Peter thinks the boys are replaceable, that if one dies or grows up, he can swap in another from the Other Place, the place where he collects new playmates. That is unless they get sick or killed by pirates or eaten by crocodiles or unless - inexplicably - they grow old. On an island lives a boy called Peter and his band of merry lost boys, young forever. Jamie's lived there for longer than he can remember, and it's not all fun and games. The author of Alice takes listeners through a dark tale of Peter Pan, who turns his best friend into his nemesis, Captain Hook. But Peter won't have that, for nobody will ever take Jamie from him. He does everything Peter does not. Ever.. For some of them do grow old, and nobod
