evagachus's review against another edition
3.0
a strange read for me. I had the assumption that Peter was just a happy kid wanting a happy time but he is really a disturbed child whose age complex will drive him to do unfair things.
it is good to know the real Peter Pan now and I only knock off a few stars because I don't think the grand fight with Hook was particularly interesting and it dragged for a while.

Aside from the stereotypes and biases and prejudices and bullying, this was a very fun read. Of course knew the story already, but I did not expect Barrie to be so witty in his writing.

"Y así seguirán las cosas, mientras que los niños sean alegres, inocentes e insensibles"
El País de Nunca Jamás ese lugar donde puedes correr aventuras la mar de fantásticas y olvidarte de ellas en un mismo instante, o eso es lo que le pasaba siempre a Peter Pan.
J.M Barrie sabe como transmitir esa efímera inocencia que se tiene durante la infancia, donde ninguno de nuestros actos tienen consecuencias -o eso creemos.

It was lighthearted and fun. Although ***SPOILER ALERT*** for some reason I had it in my head that Peter Pan came to the real world, grew up and married Wendy, and I was disappointed when Wendy married somebody else and Peter was still hanging out with her great granddaughter at the end. Did I think this because of the movie "Hook"? No idea...

Graham read this aloud. I haven’t read the full version of Peter Pan, but I liked this abridgment. It was engaging and fun, without being mind numbing to read. Evie thought it was great fun and is excited to see the play next month!

I almost forgot I read this. Now I remember not really liking it.

Es extraño leer un clásico del que crees que lo sabes todo por haber visto una película de dibujos. Algunas escenas son idénticas a como las recuerdas, a otras les pones canciones que no aparecen en el libro, pero sobre todo te sorprendes por todo lo que dejó aparcado la adaptación, una historia oscura y triste sobre la pérdida de la infancia.

I'm reading this aloud to Tim, who's never read it. Trina's illustrations are perfect.
