5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read - funny as well as very clever,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trans Am (Paperback)
The idea to replay Peter Pan with modern dilemmas like infertility is brilliantly executed. The book's full of interesting ideas and subplots which make it a pacey read throughout, all heading to an ending that's really gripping. The dialogue is very natural and funny - the bit about what kind of music they play in heaven really made me laugh, but there are loads of great one-liners too - and it was so refreshing to have strong female characters dominating the action.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Does exactly what it says on the tin,

This review is from: Trans Am (Paperback)
...Imagine Peter Pan re-worked by Peckinpah circa The Getaway - only with kids taking the place of money, and the ruthless naasty ones turn out to be the mothers. Good stuff.
