Annotation: You think you know the story of Peter Pan? Well did you know that he's really on a quest for centuries-old 'bonedust' that will grant him the eternal life he so desires? No? I guess you'd better think again!
Recommend: Yes
How would you convince someone to read the book: If they've read Another Faust, I could just show them the cover. But, assuming that they want to know more about it, I'd say that it's a much different version of Peter Pan, which involves Egyptian mythology, curses, and of course the evil Vileroy.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling thing to me was that it was a sequel without messing with the story of the first book. There were a few characters who overlapped from the first one, and a couple of mysteries were explained, but it didn't tamper with the first book. I really found that cool, because a lot of the times, sequels aren't as good as the first book.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: The only really disappointing thing was the absence of the youngest Darling child, Michael. Other than that, I loved it.
Cover: The cover definitely drew my attention. I really like it. However, the fact that it was a sequel to Another Faust was what compelled me to pick it up in the end.
