Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

I mainly read this book for inspiration on how to revise a novel I'm working on. I have to say I was surprised to find that the Disney Movie version follows the book pretty closely, even including parts that, in the book are maybe a paragraph long, but are actually pretty important to understanding the characters. What was most interesting to me was how the narrator always had a slightly dark tone where mothers were concerned. He seemed to have a hate/love relationship with them and also with how ungrateful children can be especially when they take advantage of their parents. All in all though this was an interesting quick read that I'm glad I finished right before school started. If you've seen the Disney movie or watched the play (also written by Barrie) or the musical, then you would enjoy reading this book.

Have you read this book before? How did you like it? Post a comment and lets chat.

Keep on Reading,
