The premise is great. The re-telling, character, and plot changes are all inventive. There is no reason why I shouldn't have been drawn into this book...but I wasn't. I was bored. I mean, I was on board with making Peter into a villain and bringing fresh perspective to the tale...it just didn't compel me to keep reading beyond the setup of the new premise. I definitely zoned out throughout the audiobook on this one but the kids enjoyed it so we finished it.
