Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy)3/5 - I liked it (but I might say that it was more like a 2.5/5, but im sticking with whole numbers) There were some nice moments of prose, mostly due to rhyming, but the novel was written for children, unlike Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, which could be more easily enjoyed as an adult. Peter Pan is a true children's novel and was written as though Barrie had a mother or father reading to their child at their bedside in mind. I was disappointed with most of the novel because I assumed that it would have more of the master strokes that Alice in Wonderland did, or that it would have the innocent earnestness of The Wizard of Oz, but I don't think that it had much of either. But I did like the ending.I'll be reading Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens next but won't review it, unless it's something spectacular. If it is then I'll just edit this post with that review.
