Very lovely. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys children's lit.
Witty and fun.
I love Denise Linn with all of my heart. Great meditations in this book!!
When I heard about this one I knew I had to read it. A re-telling of Persuasion, and I do love that book. This is a post-apocalyptic world, a dystopian society where The Luddites rule over the reduced and the post-reduced. Genetic experimentation went wrong and some kids were born wrong(The reduced) and after a few generations they did get birth to normal kids but they are still owned. It was a great society, ok do not get me wrong, it was a horrible society, it was just great to read about as I love when an author truly creates something good and well terrible. The world has crumbled, you can't travel across the ocean as you would get lost. Technology (high tech) is forbidden. God punished these people. As you can see, what an awesome premise. I do think it was the world I liked the most. But ok on to the story. It followed Persuasion in some aspects (I mean after all this is a dystopian messed up society so everything can't be in there). I liked the story of how 18 year old Elliot meets her old friend Kai again. He was owned by them before he ran away. Now he has money and fame as the Posts are making names for themselves. The world is changing. Kai was a bit of an ass (as he should be), he was hurt and Elliott is trying to cope with her new responsibilities. As just as in Persuasion her sister and dad are idiots. A good dystopian book, great world, and a love story that even if not in the spotlight, surely burns inside of them.
I love this series so much, and I'm sad to see this trilogy end! Peter and the Secret of Rundoon is a fast-paced, wonderfully humorous, incredibly creative conclusion to a beautiful rendition of how Peter Pan could have come to exist. All of the characters in this book are wonderfully thought out and set into the plot. From Molly's Starcatcher father to Captain Hook himself, each plays their role wonderfully (or sinister-ly, if referring to the pirate). I couldn't stop flipping the pages, wanting to know what would happen to them next, and if things could possibly turn out okay when everything seemed to be against them. What I really enjoyed about this book is how everything is adding together to set up for Peter Pan. As this is supposed to be a prequel of sorts for the classic-while it takes great liberties with the plot and things like that-the ways important details of the beloved book fall into place are so interesting to see, I loved spotting each one. From giant crocodiles and ticking clocks to Lost Boys and Peter himself, how everything came to be meshes together in this novel. The settings of this book were so vivid and easily pictured. I could imagine Neverland, or Mollusk Island, with its lagoon, waterfalls, and mountains. And then I could see Rundoon, a land of sandy desert and grumpy camels. They added an extra something to the plot, which I really liked. I give Peter and the Secret of Rundoon 5/5 stars. This is a book I literally couldn't put down, and I'll be reading this over and over! It was fantastic, and I recommend it to any fans of Peter Pan, or people just looking for a good book. It's worth picking up.
