Never Never presents an intriguing scenario. But the main draw of it and what eventually sealed the deal for me was the fact this story isn’t really about Peter Pan. I find that aspect very interesting, and as it happens, Never Never makes use of it to good effect.So, clearly I didn’t need much more incentive to check out this book. There’s just something about the original tale which lends itself to so many interpretations, and the nature of Neverland as a boundary-free and adventurous place in the minds of children, never the same from one person to the next, strikes me as whimsical and yet a bit unnerving at the same time. I’ve always had a penchant for interesting and imaginative retellings, and Peter Pan stories are my weakness. Seriously, why does everyone love Peter Pan? He’s kind of a dick.Actually, now that I think about it, it’s a wonder how I haven’t come across a book like this sooner. Never Never confirms what I’ve always suspected – that Peter Pan is a twisted and evil little psycho! Even as a little kid watching the Disney movie, I always felt something was off about him.
