<b><i>Has it ever occurred to you that there might be another version to Peter Pan’s story? Would you want to see Captain Hook’s point of view? If so, then you will truly enjoy this lovely short read: Captain Hook: Villain or Victim by Ellwyn Autumn. </i></b>

I have always loved Peter Pan and this fairy tale is without a doubt my favourite fairy tale. The world is unique, and the story is amazing. Maybe Peter Pan was the reason I was always so in love with England. I will never know.

When Ellwyn introduced me to her book, I knew I had to have it. I had to read it and find out what Captain Hook’s story might be. The book is quite short, but full of adventures throughout. We follow the journalist, David J. Locke, who sails through the seas searching for Captain Hook. When he finally gets a clue, he dives into the story of Captain Hook and discovers truths that have never been told before.

Even though there were times when the Captain Hook’s story seems like a side-story to David J. Locke’s adventures, it was a pleasure to read it, and I read it in one sitting. The book keeps you interested throughout, and the fiction of the re-telling is quite smart and uniquely thought through. I am very happy that I read this book! I would recommend it to all of you that love retellings and love fairy tales.

A huge thank you to Ellwyn Autumn, for sending me a paperback copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Stay Fly is my favorite Captain Marvel volume of them all. Danvers is in space, has contact with Rocket, and finds out her cat, Chewie, is an alien with thousands of babies. I kind of want to frame the cover art because it's hilarious and makes me laugh.

Book Rating

Secret Invasion: Where Marvel decided to change characters into Skrulls. In this volume, Carol's not even sure if she's a Skrull. The newest run of Captain Marvel (2015) seemed to get an idea or two from this arc, and I'm not sure that was a good way to go.

"I trust him as a writer. It was a new book, and I didn't know about the Lusitania. I was totally satisfied when I was finished. It was like I was able to picture a lot of the faces, the passengers, the captain. You could almost see them."
