She needs to not have fact-checking mistakes in it, such as the fact that one cannot fly without a shadow... if true, how did Peter Pan fly back for his in the first place? Peter went back to his mother's house twice, not once, as she says. Those are just a couple differences, and one is too many. I just think it's very disrespectful to not have cared enough to allow discrepencies with something that is supposed to be in direct line/extension of the original stories. As a writer doesn't it bother you? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75620449944978134.post-76593551461566775332010-10-17T00:56:40.111-05:002010-10-17T00:56:40.111-05:00I wasn't put off by this one.

I love Peter Pan, but it's not exactly an uplifting story in the end.<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendations.

If it's an "official" sequel, how can it be inconsistent? With some exceptions here and there, I thought the story quite silly [in the bad sense] and didn't really go anywhere.<br /><br />Have you read this one? It's based on Barrie's own idea for more: <a href="http://www.peterpansneverworld.com/" rel="nofollow">Click</a>!<br />And this is a great read, too... it's a "What if?" adventure which takes the characters on a very path: <a href="http://www.reginettapress.com/hookandjill/" rel="nofollow">Click</a>!<br /><br />BELIEVE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
