Rating: Summary: I fell in love with Peter! Review: "Peter pan" is one of the best book I love. As like Wendy, when I was a child I loved Peter from my heart. He is a real child, never never grow up and know dirty or gain unnecessary wisdom.. I seriously wanted to fly away to the Neverland. I think it is very difficult to become an adult with innocence. The child grow up to forget how to fly and don't believe fairly or romantic things. So I hope I would be a child forever. I don't want to be an adult. I think this book is not only adventure, but also sad love story about Peter and Wendy. Wendy fell in love with Peter but he hoped her to be a mother. I wanted them to become happy. Child wants love but when he gets it, he is no longer a child. It is heartless contradiction. The last part of this story is very sad, I think.
Rating: Summary: the most popular book of all time Review: "Peter Pan" is one of the popular books of all time. I saw the play on television and read the book. If you like the book, I suggest you buy the illustrated edition.

Rating: Summary: Michael Hague's perfect Peter Pan Review: ... if you are looking for a good copy of Peter Pan to keep on the shelf and read to or with your children, there are none better than this. Michael Hagues's illustrations of Peter Pan are absolutely perfect - you'll have no difficultly believing this boy fell out of his pram as a baby and has been motherless! The pirates are fantastic, and no one captures a better mushroom. Ah, and of course, J.M. Barrie's work is wonderful too! If you only have one copy of Peter Pan, make it an edition illustrated by Hague.
Rating: Summary: When fairies are born. Review: All children, except one, grow up.That is the first sentence in this fantastic book, and it pretty much sums the story up too. Because the superficial plot is quite easy to understand and so it should be, it is afterall a childrens book. Nevertheless, the characters (not to mention the dreamlike images this book gives) are far from superficial. They are on the contrary extremely well developed. Even the minor characters, like the lost boys, will draw the reader deep into the Neverland, not to let him/her go till the last word is digested. In short this book is funny, intelligent and beautiful. A true farietale.
Rating: Summary: It was simply fasinating! Review: Beautifully written, it is like a real picture. I felt like i was in Neverland!
Rating: Summary: Best Audio Book in my ten year search Review: Driving with young children in the car quickly convinced me that it was unsafe to not give them something to listen to. After ten years I have collected a large (30+) bag of books-on-tape. I have also loaned them to others and asked for opinions. Peter Pan (read by Wendy Craig) is not only my favorite, but also the favorite of my wife and most of my friends. It is excellent for all ages (4 to 80) and even most hardened teenagers. Humour, presentation, ... a prefect 10.
Rating: Summary: Trina Hyman's perfectly illustrated Peter Pan Review: I first read Barrie's tale of the boy who refuses to grow up when I was 16 (after watching Disney's movie), and I absolutely loved it. It is in every way better than any film ever made which it inspired (although Disney's version is fun to watch and the recent 2003 version is very good and most faithful to the story). This review, however, is only to comment upon the illustrations. There are various illustrated Peter Pans; but this one is the very best. Trina Hyman's delicate, gorgeous drawings capture the characters to perfect. Peter is particularly good, looking suitably wild and beautiful, and Tinker Bell is a lovely fairy. In so many other illustrated books the characters are either over-dressed or simply grotesque, but Hyman's version of the characters are simply perfect (MUCH better than the Disney version of them!) If you buy any illustrated Peter Pan, but this one.
Rating: Summary: Don't be satisfied with the Disney version. Review: I got this book as a gift, and was utterly charmed! There's nothing like reading the original story for yourself. ^_^ Not only is the story great, but the physical book itself is lovely, with great pics and wonderfully smooth pages.
Rating: Summary: Peter Pan was the coolest book. Review: I loved this book. When I was a kid, Peter Pan never never grew up. Who didn't like Peter Pan? Peter Pan took children to his home and his friend was mad. It was a funny book. The oldest child did not want to go to Never Never Land. This book told about the adventures the children had while they were there.
