First off, I would like to say I was just DELIGHTED to win this in the giveaway! I'd never won one before! 
 As for the book itself... Meh. For some reason this version of the Captain Hook origin story just didn't work for me. The writing was fairly solid, and made for a much more smooth and interesting read than otherwise, but I couldn't shake the feeling that this was just NOT a real Peter Pan/Hook story. I felt like I was reading about completely separate characters with the same name. 
 Also, while I sympathized with the lead, Jamie (aka the future Captain James Hook), I did feel that his memory loss and hatred of Peter were a touch contrived. The problem is that the story never really gives you the chance to see Peter the way Jamie claimed to have seen him originally, as this dazzling loveable person who you slowly come to see is evil and selfish. No, it was pretty obvious to me from the get go that this Peter was a jerk -- and not in the usual "typical Peter Pan behavior" way either, just a plain, stupid jerk. 
 As far as characters I really liked, I can only think of one: Sally. And while I won't spoil what happens to her here, to avoid having to mark this as a spoiler review, I will say it displeased me greatly. This reader was NOT a happy camper about her fate and how it was handled. 
 As for Charlie. I didn't find him that likable. He was this cutesy little perfect doll right up until he randomly buddy-buddied with Peter for no reason then repented of it later. 
 I do give this three stars however for the solid writing and for the fact that I did like it a little better (overall, some details give or take) than Never, Never (a novel I've reviewed previously that had a similar plot) and that one at least merited 3 stars.
