His eyes were of the blue of the forget-me-not, and of a profound melancholy, save when he was plunging his hook into you, at which time two red spots appeared in them and lit them up horribly.” The book has a lot of brutal, heart-breaking plot twists. I set the book down to tell my wife about them a few times but, for the most part, I wolfed this book down in three sittings. It's a really gripping read and I couldn't wait to see what psychotic gesture of "friendship" Peter would make next. Peter had just forgotten, the way that Peter did forget about anything that wasn’t right in front of him at the moment.”

Lost Boy is a dark retelling of Peter Pan from the point of view of the boy who would become Captain Hook. And it's fantastic. What would an island populated by eleven year old boys really be like? It's way more like Lord of the Flies than Neverland. Lost Boys die all the time and Peter goes to the Other Place to retrieve more, just like he did with Jamie, the boy who has been his right hand for 150 seasons, at least.It crashed over me all at once, the truth I’d been pretending wasn’t there. I was growing up. I was growing up, and I was so afraid.”

Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook - Goodreads

This is a retelling of the Peter Pan story in a very dark and sinister manner. It's more like a cross between Peter Pan and Lord of the Flies if that makes any sense. The plot retains many of the primary elements that made the original so beloved, like Peter's invincibility and his promise to bring the children to his island home. But in this version, Peter isn't a naive kid, and the things that happen on his island aren't quite as magical and beautiful as he tells the kids he brings there that they will be. Fans of the original tale will need to prepare themselves for having beloved characters shown in a new and sinister light. Think Longbourn, but worse, much worse. "I had been with Peter longer than I'd been in the Other Place, longer than I could count, anyway. The seasons did not pass here and the days had no meaning. I would be here forever. I would never grow up." loc 146, ebook. The others in Peter's group call the narrator, Jamie.it's a clever twist, a great character study, and did i mention all the carnage?? it’s like Lord of the Flies with a much higher body count. Schumacher envisioned the character of Star as being a waifish blonde, similar to Meg Ryan, but he was convinced by Jason Patric to consider Jami Gertz, who had just worked with Patric in Solarbabies (1986). Schumacher was impressed, but only at Patric's insistence did he finally cast Gertz. [6] Schumacher was surprised when his first choice for the role of Lucy, Dianne Wiest, accepted the role, as she had just recently won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). [6] He’d been around the island for a while, and I’m sorry to say that being bashed around in Battle and at raids had done nothing very good for his brains.” But even as Jamie grows apart from Peter, figuratively and literally, he doesn't realize how far Peter will go to keep him by his side.
