Review: Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

Title: Peter Pan
Author: J.M. Barrie
Genre: Fantasy
Audience: All Ages (though honestly, I recommend it more for adults)
B & B Rating: ★★★★★

I couldn't start this blog with any other book. I honestly don't know how many times I have read this book; if I had to guess I would say at least eight times cover-to-cover. (This is saying something, since the first time I read it was six years ago in college.) Of course I saw the old Disney movie when I was a kid, and I didn't much care for it. In fact, I've discovered that a lot of people my age didn't like that movie and some have avoided the book specifically because of that movie (or because of cheesy plays involving grown women pretending to be little boys and flying around on wire contraptions).

Trust me, the book is not the "what makes a red man red" cartoon. It is not a corny stage production. It is, in a word, amazing.
