Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

NOTE: Opinions stated in the book summary do not represent my opinions.

Don't even think of starting this book unless you're sitting in a comfortable chair and have lots of time. A fast-paced, impossible-to-put-down adventure awaits as the young orphan Peter and his mates are dispatched to an island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They set sail aboard the Never Land, a ship carrying a precious and mysterious trunk in its cargo hold, and the journey quickly becomes fraught with excitement and danger. 

Discover richly developed characters in the sweet but sophisticated Molly, the scary but familiar Black Stache, and the fearless Peter. Treacherous battles with pirates, foreboding thunderstorms at sea, and evocative writing immerses the reader in a story that slowly and finally reveals the secrets and mysteries of the beloved Peter Pan.

Okay, I'm going to just come right out and say it. I HATED this book. It had a boring plot. It had almost zero character development. It was all around just B.A.D. (Not A Wrinkle in Time bad, but bad.)

Peter is an annoying little kid who doesn't know when to leave stuff alone. And Molly is just... don't get me started on her. Just don't.

I'm sure that from the 3.99 rating on Goodreads, people like this book, but I don't. Just saying.

(I had to retype the 3.99 multiple times, for some reason they wanted to put a $ in front... I wonder why... )
