Publisher's summary

The author of Alice takes listeners through a dark tale of Peter Pan, who turns his best friend into his nemesis, Captain Hook.

On an island lives a boy called Peter and his band of merry lost boys, young forever. That is unless they get sick or killed by pirates or eaten by crocodiles or unless - inexplicably - they grow old. For some of them do grow old, and nobody knows why.

One of these boys is called Jamie, and he was the first boy that Peter ever brought to the island. Jamie's lived there for longer than he can remember, and it's not all fun and games. Peter thinks the boys are replaceable, that if one dies or grows up, he can swap in another from the Other Place, the place where he collects new playmates. Jamie looks out for the boys and takes care of them. He does everything Peter does not. Jamie tries to keep them alive because to him they matter. When Peter steals a boy who is too young, Jamie takes the boy under his wing. But Peter won't have that, for nobody will ever take Jamie from him. Ever.

one of my favorite audiobooks I have heard!

I loved this! Everything about it was great from the narration to the plot. I don't want to give spoilers, but this is how Captain Hook lived with Peter Pan and grew to hate him. There are some good characters and the narration was great. Lots of things I didn't expect.

never again

Growing up with the story of Peter Pan was always a happy tale. This book offered a duality to the boy who would never grow old. A dark side which will always be there when I hear the name Peter Pan.

Marvelous

The story is filled with memorable moments, strong characters and borderline SCARY scenery, which is fitting with the direction of the plot.

The performance being top-notch, fantastic story and all-around incredible production, this is an easy recommendation.

This book is awesome

If you like Peter Pan OR Hook, you will love this book. It is what the canon needed.

This ain't Disney

This is a dark retelling of the story of Peter Pan, but probably the most consistent one.

It's a great book when you know what to expect

I thought that when I started this book that it would be super heartfelt. When it wasn't, I had to take a break. It's a really good story, but it's very Lord of the Flies-ish. When you're expecting that, though, the story is really amazing.

Awesome, book! Reader is excellent!

I am not sure that I would have chosen this book, but it was highly recommended to me. I am so thankful to the person who did. It is Awesome! I hated to put it down. The reader was PERFECT for the part. I can't think of anything that could have improved this book, because it was just that good!
