Product Description

From AudioFile

Fly with narrator Jim Dale through Peter PanÕs third adventure. Lord Ombra kidnaps Peter, and Molly and the Starcatchers follow them to Rundoon, home of the maniacal King Zarboff. Dale organizes the vast geography of the adventure so youÕll never lose track of the story. He manages individual voices for pirates, children, villains, and Tink without overacting. His warm, conversational reading moves the action forward and engages the listener. Dale has the uncanny knack of knowing his characters; he presents each personality to us as an intimate acquaintance. One caveat: Due to low sound levels and DaleÕs relatively constant pitch, this recording is not for listening in the car. Much of the dialogue then becomes muffled. For any other occasion, however, DaleÕs recording is a memorable flight of fancy.

4.0 out of 5 stars It departed from the original premise, Oct 22 2008

By	WriterGrl "Melodie" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (Hardcover)

This book was quite decent, but it does not seem to be the same series that it started as. This happens quite frequently in trilogies where originally only one book or film was planned, and then later it was decided to turn it into a trilogy. The original was great, and the sequels are good, but they seem to depart in tone and story style (not sure how to describe what I mean).
The original book, Peter and the Starcatchers, was great. Funny and exciting, the nearly 500 pages flew by and not once did the book seem long or overly wordy. Perhaps its only major fault as a prequel was that it gave Peter a love interest who was potentially Wendy's future mother...creepy, when you think about it.
But then Peter and the Shadowthieves came out, and while it was a decent fantasy story, it no longer felt like it had anything to do with Peter Pan. It's hard to believe that this boy, who's been embroiled in intrigues like this and been so grown-up, could suddenly go back to Neverland and practically lose his mind to be like Peter Pan.
Secret of Rundoon was pretty much in that vein. While it did clear up a few more origin details, i.e. Peter's shadow, his lost boys (they had better stop growing soon too or else they'll be Mrs. Darling's age by the time the story catches up), altogether it just felt like Barry and Pearson were writing a story where they conveniently had a flying main character with a fairy. No longer did this feel like "The Peter Pan prequel", it just felt like "A story featuring characters who somewhat resemble younger versions of Peter Pan characters physically". That's not to say it's not a fun read, though probably not a repeat one. The action moves nicely, and it's never a book that feels overly long either. However if you're looking for a good kid's action/adventure type one and you're willing to lose the magic, I would recommend the Airborn trilogy by Kenneth Oppel.
