review 1: A kind of dark take on Neverland sort of, for lack of a better way to describe it. There are very clear and blatant Peter Pan, Wendy, Captain Hook and Lost Boys similarities but also some not quite as in your face references...like a doctor with the last name Barrie, or a grandmother from England who told stories about magical places...So all in all an interesting, adult twist on a children's tale.
review 2: I read the synopsis of this book without even associating it with anything. It sounded interesting and I wanted to read it. I started the book and was a little ways into it before a commercial for Peter Pan came on and it clicked for me. I dove back in and drank the story up, loving every moment of what Kristina Circelli could tell me about The Never.The s
... moretory and characters were complex and always twisting. Every time I would think I had a grasp on something, a new lie or secret would be revealed. There was just so much mystery, and I didn't want to stop reading. I needed to learn about all of the secrets surrounding Arianna. I had to know what each of the three men in her lives were hiding from her. The adventures were wild! These weren't the cheerful adventures from the movie my children love. Circelli wrote adventures that had me holding my breath. I desperately needed to know the outcomes, but I dreaded them as well. There were deaths and thievery, and darker things that were sad to read. But there was also love, joy, and redemption.This was the first book of Kristina Circelli's that I have read. It was an amazing way to be introduced to an author. The Never will take readers flying, pillaging, fighting, loving, and learning. Circelli has amazing talent, and I cannot wait to read her other books. less

could not finish - stopped at 48%. seemed to drag on and sounded too 'peter pan'-ish for me.
