Rezension von Luna<b>Todos los niños crecen, o mueren, o ambos. Todos los niños, excepto uno</b> ¡Este libro es una joya! Es demasiado adictivo, atrapante, interesante. No quieres parar de leer, Jamie es un narrador excelente. Este libro bien podría ser la historia original del capitán Garfio, si asumimos que Peter no es tan bueno como pensamos. Y es que justamente, aunque amo todas las versiones de Peter Pan, siempre he tenido la idea de que la historia de Peter Pan es más retorcida de lo que pensamos, y justo está explicación de que los niños alimentan la isla tiene demasiado sentido. Creo que en este libro podemos ver muy claramente como el amor obsesivo, y los celos pueden convertir a una persona en un monstruo, y aunque Peter claramente ya lo era aunque Jamie no lo asumiera al inicio, la llegada de Charlie y Sal fue lo que empeoró todo, convirtiéndolo en un ser oscuro sin control. Tambien creo que perder a Jamie, quien era que cuidaba los niños, en algún punto obligó a Peter a traer a Wendy, que aunque era una chica, el sabía que podía ser su “madre” Está catalogado como libro de terror pero realmente no me dió miedo. <B>Él sabe que nadie lo amará de la forma en que todos te amamos</b>
Rezension von Malerie McArdleThis one was wild. Take the original story of Peter Pan, mash it with the Lord of the Flies and sci-fi horror, and this is the terrifying, disturbing concoction that you get. This one will have you hating the beloved Peter Pan and loving the typically villainous Captain Hook. The character development is beautiful, and this one will leave you with your jaw on the ground and a broken soul. Peter Pan will never be the same again.
Rezension von James LückIt was quite an emotional journey. A few plot twist, which I didn't expect. Overall a realy good book, with well-thought characters
