I've heard that this is a great book to read if you want to get into classics. If that's the case, I'm not sure the classics are for me. It took me two tries to get through, but I've finally finished a story that almost everyone says they've read and loved.

And while I definitely loved the whimsy of the story, I realized for the first time how diabolical and ego-maniacal Peter really is, and it crushed my soul a little. I didn't notice it in the movies growing up, but maybe, I just didn't know what those traits looked like until now.

Oh well, I'll always have my childhood wonder for my favorite character in memories, even if the book demolished that idea in adulthood.
