MY RATING➯ 2¼ STARS
This book suffers from too many words…the prose; while quite beautiful…ultimately dragged the pacing of the book for me and made it difficult for me to stay in the story. Maybe, it would have been better on audio, although, after listening to the sample...I'm not sure about that narrator, she sounds like a 10-year-old. An example of this beautiful but verbose writing…
At dusk in Neverland, as with anywhere else, all the colors begin to fade one by one before night comes. The last color to disappear is green, and in those moments between dusk and darkness, it stands out brightly for lack of all the other colors, and almost glows.
If you like it when something like dusk is way over-explained, then this could maybe work for you. It kind of reminded me of high school when I had to read Shakespeare...and it felt like torture. Fun fact...I didn't really like reading until I was around 19...so most of what I read back then felt a little tortuous, with Shakespeare being a special kind of torture.
