Explanation Concering 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.

Forget everything you know about Captain Hook.Before he was a ruthless, heartless pirate, he was a boy named Jamie who befriended Peter Pan.Until Peter Pan betrayed him. Christina Henry is known for her dark retellings that surprise as much as they shock. This story is violent and unexpected, but also full of heart.Because Jamie is a protector. Its his love for Peter Pan that made him the cruel pirate that everyone knows. This book shows us how that happened; how Jamie discovered Peter Pans truePeter Pan has always been quite the iffy story for me. He always struck me as a creepy kind of character. A super old boy stuck in a young boy's body, dragging young children to an island. Super odd. So therefore, I was always intrigued by Captain Hook! And this was truly his story!Jamie was relatable, completely relatable, even though he had done heinous things over the years. Yet, it was all because of Peter's urge to "play." I loved Jamie because he was like a daddy hen to a lot of the boys,
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!
5/5stars January, 2020:Reread this for my Master's project on adaptation and peter pan and I just absolutely adore this book and honestly rereading it after deep-diving so completely into Barrie and Peter Pan and everything surrounding it, it's an even more amazing adaptation! Love this book so much!2017: edit 7/8/17; I just got my physical edition in the mail and I legit got sO FUCKING EXCITED AND FOND AND LOVING that I just sort of knew I needed to bump this up to the full 5 stars. OH MY LORD
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.
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 4
