The beginning started of really slow and reading through the first half of the book was a bit of a pain, because nothing important really happend and the book didn't really get to the point. Many scenes were way too long and could be shortend a bit.
I loved Jamies development! His anger and annoyance for Peter were pretty obvious since the beginning.
The book was brutally written and at some points it was repulsive and disgusting to read if you keep in mind that 8-12 year old boys did those gruesome things like slaughtering others without a bit of mercy. This writing made the book really thrilling and fascinating for me. It was very gripping at the second half of the book because of the fast pace and hoping that your favorite side characters do not brutally die like most of the others.
The fast pace at the end made it also very enjoyable to read and even though we know the ending of the book since the beginning, there are many small plottwists and turns that keep you occupied.
All in all I would recommend this book and encourage to keep reading even if the first half is a bit slow, it is worth it.

Peter isn't like other boys, maybe he isn't even a boy at all. Peter's idea of fun and happiness involves blood, raiding, pillaging, narrow escapes and tossing aside anyone who gets in his way- except Jaime. Jaime is special, he is the first, but he isn't up to Peter's antics anymore and that is the adventure we witness. The devolvement of friendship, the falling of the curtain of childhood and above all, discovering what the monsters really are on the island.
Be prepared to audibly gasp, shake your head and cry for the boys who are forever lost. This book shakes the very foundations of Neverland.
