Aug 26, Andrew rated it really liked it Shelves: book-club , fantasy. I was surprised by this book in many good ways. I was expecting something that glorified the Child and its imagination, and perhaps cursed the unstoppable destruction of our Childinity. I was surprised to see this was not truly so. Barrie loves the Child, but he does not hide its foolishness, its selfishness, its ignorance.
The Child in this is almost pre-moral. They have some understanding of villainy, but do not grasp the virtue of a hero. Barrie deems a key attribute to being a child as being I was surprised by this book in many good ways. Barrie deems a key attribute to being a child as being heartless.

All of this raises many points for potential argument and discussion and this is why this book so impressed me. Because I am still thinking about it. It is interesting to think that Barrie was mostly a playwright because I highly enjoyed the playful narrative voice he employed and would mark it as one of my key enjoyments for the book. I love a remarkable narrative voice, though I can't say it is entirely unique. However I may be judging it by its followers as opposed to its peers or master. Regardless, I was entertained and thus I applaud. It should be noted that the sensibilities of this book are not those of today's children entertainment.
Most notably, Barrie does not sidestep the fact that the lost boys actively seek to kill pirates. This goes back again to one of my earlier comments, but it may seriously affect the reader. This could bring up many discussions of its own: the place of killing in the imagination of a child, how a child views the struggle between good and evil when they perhaps can't properly discern the two, the distinction between our modern censorship and older standards and they why of all of that, and plenty of other things.
However if a parent is looking for a book to read to their child, I just figured this should be brought up. As an aside: for those who know the premise behind the comic series Fables, the writer originally intended for Peter Pan to be the Adversary only to find out that they didn't have rights to the character if they published in the UK.
After reading this book I can totally see the interpretation he was going with. It makes for a fun idea. He would have obviously had to constructed the means of the Adversary differently, but Pan as a villain is not unbelievable after this book. View all 6 comments. Jun 25, Lisa rated it it was amazing Shelves: children. She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than the other girls. And knowing what she chose, it was a deliberate choice in my case as well.
Peter Pan is one of those many childhood classics I devoured, loved and cherished, only to put it aside and - seemingly - "You need not be sorry for her. Peter Pan is one of those many childhood classics I devoured, loved and cherished, only to put it aside and - seemingly - forget it. But as I was reading poetry this weekend and enjoying it so much I was laughing tears, I all of a sudden thought of fairies, and that they are made of children's laughter.
Laughing like a child made me think of that hidden identity somewhere underneath the grown-up self I have become, and that in turn made me think of the difference between Peter and Wendy. Peter refuses to grow, and prefers to stay a child and play and fight and live an irresponsible, crazy adventure. His world is a male paradise, and he is its king.

As fascinating as it is to follow his story, I would never have wanted to stay in Neverland with him. Telling the story of the adventure to my own children as a grown-up - a mother - would have been much more tempting. Wendy and Peter are symbols of the storyteller and the story. What would you like to be? Why are so many people still idealising an immature phase in life, glorifying young adult behaviour, living off the stories of their youth?
Telling the story of Captain Hook is so much more satisfying than chasing him around while listening for the crocodile ticking away in all eternity. I bow to the wisdom and wit of Barrie, who must have had plenty of Peters and Wendys to draw from to create those two concepts of life - so true and yet so much in need of pixie dust. Peter Pan's world is this magical, wonderful, dangerous place full of adventures.
One of those places every child wants to visit, exactly like Wendy and her brothers. Just open a window and fly away. I read this book because 1. It was my duty to pick this up. But it wasn't completely what I imagined. The book wasn't as exciting, the characters not as likeable as I thought.
It was not exactly the kind of fairytale I had in mind. Still, it's a classic, and a beautiful one, too. Find more of my books on Instagram Of course in the end, Wendy let them fly away together.
Our last glimpse of her shows her at the window, watching them receding into the sky until they were as small as stars. Reread in preparation for Neverland this coming weekend! However, nothing has ever stuck with me the way the musical did, Ever since I was a young girl, I've been obsessed with the musical performance of Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby which you can view here on YouTube.
However, nothing has ever stuck with me the way the musical did, and so I figured it was about time I read the book. While I read this, I had the distinct feeling that I just wasn't as into it as I expected myself to be. When I expressed this unfortunate feeling to my cousin, she had this to say: "You've been drowned with the same content over and over until the original feels like a bad clone of itself.
So really, I don't know if it's this book's fault that I didn't love it. I didn't hate it, but I don't see myself ever choosing to read it again. The whole time I was transposing scenes from the play over my imagination instead of focusing on the book itself. Also, I want to mention how much I don't care for the end of this novel?

It's such an antagonistic conclusion about adulthood I guess the whole story is too but whatever. You can't fly anymore, you're an icky grown up! View all 20 comments. Jun 26, Bionic Jean rated it really liked it Shelves: read-authors-a-b , 19th-century-ish , classics , fantasy , children-s , children-s-and-ya. This edition of Peter Pan contains the text of J. There is maybe a little of Peter in everybody.
We can all empathise with that concept; it speaks to our inner psyche. But what are we to make of the original? It is by turns overblown, full of Victorian sentiment and whimsy, but there is also a dark side with very grim overtones. There is betrayal, selfishness, cruelty, torture and bloodthirstiness galore.

Their parents seem full of hypocrisy too. For instance, a few pages into the story, the Darlings are discussing whether or not they can afford to keep their newborn baby, Wendy. He treats this as a great joke although the rest of the family do not think so. What is the message here? Parents betray you? Parents do not feel remorse? Or is it simply very black humour? She is quite literally, a nursemaid to the children. A little of both probably, although I do remember finding this confusing myself, as a child.
Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly … After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be the same boy.
