Narrative To Books Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook
There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever.Rating Appertaining To Books Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook

5 stars for EPICLY COOL BACKSTORY, DARK PAN, and MY GUY JAMES HOOK, 3 stars for THE MOST UNNECESSARY AND SHOEHORNED HETEROSEXUAL ROMANCE OF ALL TIME, averages out at a solid 4Peter lies. Peter is a manipulator. Peter thinks only of Peter. He is not the rescuer of unwanted children. He is not a magical hero or purveyor of fun and excitement. Peter is a monster, but the boys he brings to his island are too naïve to realize, until it is too late, but the boys did have Jamie.Jamie was one of Peters first boys. Jamie was the teacher, the nurturer, the voice of reason, the protector and the one whose attention Peter craved the most. Jamie knew the real Peter, the ugly side
Dnf because I wasn't engaged with the way this was written and I didn't really care for where the story was going. I hear nothing but good things about this author, but I'm not so sure if her retellings are for me.
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ All children grow up, or they die, or both. All children, except one. Before I begin, I have something I need to ask Christina Henry . . . . . Id say Lost Boy was highly anticipated by me, but that would be a lie because I had no clue about its existence until the Goodreads Recommended To You feature finally got one right and popped this up on my feed. I luuuuuuuurved Alice, but passed on Red Queen because homie dont do series, yo.
Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies. Ellen Gail tested. Chloe approved.In Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook, Christina Henry does what she did insanely well in Alice and brings a good deal of bloody retelling fun to a classic fairy tale. In this case, it's the tale of Peter Pan - he never wants to grow up, and he just wants all of his friends to stay young and carefree with him.Peter's boys never grow up.What could possibly be wrong with that?Our main
Wow, this was so brutal but also surprisingly good. I was invested in Jamie's and Peter's story from the start, so much so that this book may have pulled me out of my reading slump. Yay, let's hope this actually happened!
Thank you Penguin for the ARC of the latest chapter of the Peter Pan mythos. I have previously read biographies of J.M. Barrie, so I had some idea of what I was getting into. As I have mentioned on other platforms, this is not the Disney version of the story. If you want to keep and cherish that version run far away from this story. It will change everything you love about the character.For those of you who wish to continue it is a well written story that continues ideas that one might have come
