This book is a great! It's a darker retelling of the Peter Pan story. The author does a great job with the mood of the book and puts a great twist on a classic story. It's also sprinkled with amazing art done by Brom, the author. The art is really good. The vendor I bought this from was great as well, they shipped it very quickly and the book was in fantastic shape.

I really liked the story and the art work in the book. Brom doesn't give you the Walt Disney happy coorized version of Peter Pan. No. Here is Peter's story in black and white, with all the horror's that were on the island. The island is not as bad as you may think it's far worse. If you liked "Lord of the Flies" then your in for a treat. I found myself not liking the ending.Not how it was written per say, but who lives and who dies. But Brom has written so well, that I truly fell for a character. And that dear reader, makes for a good Author. You must read the Author's notes to truly appreciate where this novel evolved from.
A colorful modern take on a great classic. Brom takes his art to a whole another level in this book; not only are the illustrations stunning but the actual story itself is just beyond words. One of the best Novels I have ever read! The book takes an extremely different approach to the watered down Disney version most of us know today. This book is indeed violent, but a wonderfully witty and clever adaptation of the Peter Pan classic. It makes one think outside the well known version and ask questions like why did Peter want so desperately to “not become a man?” Why did he need to steal away children? And why so offend? A great read all the way through. A truly compelling complex re-imagined masterpiece.
