" i really liked the beginning of this book(the reason for 3 stars instead of 2) but once paul reached The Anyplace it was all downhill from there. maybe it's just me though, i don't like the original Peter Pan all that much either. "

" An interesting children's book, a revisionist take on Peter Pan. Is true to the original in style and content, but throws in some rather more difficult life lessons I don't think were in the first. "

" A decent enough pastiche of Barrie's original, but the narrative dragged in places and the character of "Paul Dear" is an (annoyingly) obvious author self-insertion/Marty Stu. "

" Adult fiction/fantasy. Based on the characters in Barrie's Peter Pan but an all-new story featuring a different boy entirely, told in the manner of a Victorian bedtime story. Enjoyable for pretty much all age groups. "

" Three Cheers for the adventure, the spirit and heart woven with such playful wit in David's magically sly retelling of Barrie's immortalized classic. Dare I say, you might find yourself folding over the last page with an ignited hunger to seek out your own adventures. "

" The most memorable aspect of this somewhat dark Peter Pan rewrite is the active narrative voice, which at times struck me as clever and original, and at other times as annoyingly self-conscious and twee. "

" Beautiful writing, witty and engaging narrator (who kept breaking the 4th wall), poignant insights, and a terrific tribute to the original while also having its own nicely done creative re-imaginings (especially loved the seirenes instead of the mermaids). I enjoyed this a lot.

" Peter David updates the Peter Pan myths. Sort of a better written Hook. However, the story is much more dense and a bit darker than you would expect. Not as light and fun.

" I just didn't enjoy the story plot. It took too long to develop and the voice was a little off for me. The writing style (very ambiguous) required a lot of "figuring out" what is going on. I think that I might try to reread it when I can devote more energy and brain power to it.

" This was a very fun re-imagining of Peter Pan. The start of a little slow and it was lacking something to really hook a reader but it is very well written and gives a really nice feel to the world of Never, Never Land. Or The Anyplace as it's called in this version.
