Lost Boy

OH MY GOODNESS, THAT WAS SO GOOD! I will try my hardest to make my brain work in order to process the things that I just read because I'm totally in shock right now.

Lost Boy, is about the “true” story of Captain Hook before we knew him as Peter Pan's greatest enemy, but he's not immediately called Captain Hook from the start, he was once a boy named Jaime. Back in their old days, both Peter and Jaime, were just boys. They played together, did all the fun together and they never grew old. They were the best of friends until Jaime realizes that Peter was not a great friend after all, because Peter is nothing but a liar, a manipulator and he never cared about any of the boys that he brought in the island.

This is a perfect retelling where the story we used to know was completely interchanged. We get to see how Jaime's love for Peter has blinded him from seeing how dark and monstrous he actually is. This book literally played with my feelings. It made me treasure the friendship that Jaime and Peter had and it also made me frustrated and angry because of Peter's selfishness. Now, I can fully understand where Captain Hook's hate towards Peter is coming from. I don't have anything much to say except everything in this book is exceptional and I can't wait to read more of Christina Henry's books in the future.
