Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I read this book almost a year ago and loved it. "

" great story i love how J.V. Hart made Captain Hook's history seem so real and close to the adult Captain Hook we all know "

" Wonderful writing and vocabulary, full of adventures, but not extremely clever. Nods to JM Barry and his Peter Pan were laced through the story, but the over all story, etc. was not very clever. I was expecting a little bit more, but overall I did enjoy reading it very much. (during it I came to the conclusion that JK Rowling fashioned Hogwarts after Eton) "

" This book was very interesting to read. It covered Captain Hook's life before he was "Captain Hook." It was an enjoyable read. It took place in Scotland, I think, or maybe England, and it was fun to read all the different words they use to describe things. Definitely a fun read. "

" Loved it fun read takes you back to the years when there were no worries. "

" I loved this book so much and read it when it first came out. I still think about the characters and I wish there was a sequel! "

" I really loved this book. It was really nice to have a background story for Captain Hook. I really loved James because he was a hero, yet villainous. I've always rooted for the underdog, and I really took to his clever and dastardly endeavors. Two hooks, er, thumbs up for Captain Hook! "

" This book is so werid. I can't understand what is going on but it is still interesting. "

" I enjoyedthe telling of JV Hart. He also wrote the screen play for Hook. It was fun to see the similarities to that movie. I have always been interested in why a villian can be good and have "honor" but still choose to be bad. "

" This takes Capt. Hook to a whole new level. It's quite clever and I liked it a lot! But there is a swear word that isn't really used as a swear word... they are saying it for it's actual meaning not as a swear word... I don't know. Sometimes that really bugs people. "

" Great descriptive writing, but maybe a bit lofty in word choice for young readers. A surprising tale of how James the Bastard became Captain Hook (of Peter Pan fame). "

" I've only read like 20 pages so far of this book and it's hilarious. Gives you some great insight on how Captain Hook became what he did. It's very interesting to find out who his rival in school is. "

" Yeah, I did not like this book at all. I assigned it to my class and had trouble getting through it. James is not even fascinating in his imminent evilness--just boring. My students complained about the style, and I have to agree. Bleh. "

" i loved this book. i have always had an intrest with captin hook and this book is one version about his teenage years. i thought that it was a really cool and accurate discription of what hook might have gone through. "

" I love this book! Amazing "Inside" look at the notorious James Hook. "

" YA book. Very entertaining. We wonder what happened to Peter Pan. Now we know how Captain Hook came to be. You'd be surprised to find out our evil men and heroes are made. "

" How did Captain Hook get to be such a bad-ass. This book does a pretty good job of justifying his life. "

" I actually found this very interesting. I liked being able to get inside the head of a villain. I like how this book makes you feel that even though he is supposed to be a villain, it shows you how he can also be the hero, and is a sort of hero several times throughout. This was a fun read. "

" This gemstone of a book really played out your childhood fascinations. The twist of making Captain Hook the protagonist was truly wonderful. "

" I've finally read this thing. As you can probably guess because it took me so long to read -- it wasn't that super great. The writing was a bit verbose; a lot of it could be skipped over and you wouldn't miss a thing. I can't really recommend it, because - honestly - it was just boring. "

" I bought this mainly because it was such a contradiction, rather than Peter Pan being the hero it is the notorious Capt. Hook. I would have like the story to have been longer. I thought the ending was a little flat but all in all a good story. "

" loved loved loved it. the book really shows both sides to captain hook. the soft compassionate side that-in peter pan-no one really see. he is also shown ans more witty and brilliant than peter pan gives him credit for. this book will make captain hook probably your favorite storybook villain.. "

" it was fun to get a glimpse into hook as a boy. or how j.v. hart thought hook was as a boy. i've read this book over and over again. truly enjoyable. this coming from a girl who wished she could be a pirate her whole life and once rode pirates of the caribean 13 times in one day! "

" From what I remember, it was a weird book. "

" not having read peter pan (yet) not sure if this is an accurate portrayal of capt. hook's early years or just a bit of fluff...definitely appeal to the older boy audience of pan fans "

" This book was very interesting to read. It covered Captain Hook's life before he was "Captain Hook." It was an enjoyable read. It took place in Scotland, I think, or maybe England, and it was fun to read all the different words they use to describe things. Definitely a fun read. "

" I absolutely loved this book. A thrilling and daring read that left me wanting more. I highly recommend this book to all adventure lovers with a soft spot for villains. "
