Advantages: Fantastic story, easy to read Disadvantages: Not quite the pantomine story you might expect
Another one of the books that I have had to read just recently for my degree course is PeterPan. I was quite excited by the prospect of reading this novel, as it is one that I have been meaning to read for quite some time but have just not got round too. Upon initially picking up the book I was expecting to read page after page of a pantomime like story full of mythical qualities and swashbuckling adventures.

Some say that I am of the same ilk as some girl (pah!) called Alice who had adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, wherever they may be. They cannot surely be of the same wonder as the Neverland. Here there are mermaids and pirates and great beasts and above ...
Advantages: Lots of special features and a great movie Disadvantages: ....... None really
