It's been years since I've read the original, and some of that stuff I had absolutely not been exposed to before. I hadn't been previously aware of just how much Barrie laid down in writing about Peter's past. Perhaps they'd do better to call it a reworking, like what Tim Burton did with Alice in Wonderland.<br /><br />Okie, it's quite an enjoyable book, with some nice wit and heart, even if it does veer from many of Barrie's lesser-known details. It was a fast read, too, and the 450 pages are gone in a heartbeat.

For some reason, even though I was excited by this new set of novels, I still haven't picket them up.<br /><br />Thanks for a great review to help remind me that I want to read this series.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711894235083615616.post-34898088026647360362010-03-08T16:33:21.035-06:002010-03-08T16:33:21.035-06:00It's a cool adventure story on its own, sure. ...It's a cool adventure story on its own, sure. But a prequel to <i>Peter Pan</i> it is NOT. There are TONS of mistakes as compared to Barrie's original stories (not to mention that Peter Pan HAD a backstory they completely ignored.)<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_the_Starcatchers#Differences_from_the_works_of_Barrie" rel="nofollow">List of Differences</a><br /><br />How can they can be so disrespect of another author's work (let alone classic literature)?<br /><br />There is a Pan story that's faithful... even based on Barrie's own idea for more.
