La narrativa de Barrie es cautivadora, en especial su manera tan peculiar de mezclar la "realidad" y la "fantasía".
Recuerdo leerlo por primera vez por ahí de los quince años y estar terriblemente decepcionada (era el libro favorito de alguien a quien admiraba profundamente). Ahora mi percepción ha cambiado: veo completamente esas características que tanto adoraba esa persona (lo peculiar del narrador), supongo que estudiar Literatura me dio una nueva perspectiva, en la que ahora disfruto mucho más ese tipo de cosas.
Además, recuerdo sentir muy pesado el discurso "machista" del libro, pero ahora me gusta pensarlo como un tono irónico, es decir, es una crítica de la sociedad [en especial por un diálogo de Plumín que me destrozó el corazón (al inicio de la página 91, para quienes tienen esta edición)].

Somehow I never got around to reading the unabridged versions of so many of my childhood favorites. I picked up this edition because I wanted to watch the 2011 two-part miniseries, Neverland. But I'm hoping I get around to reading this one first.

And so I got through this Classic Story about a boy who did not want to ever grow up .
