Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

Peter and the Starcatchers is an interesting prequel to the original play Peter Pan. The story explains the beginning of Neverland, how the characters come to end up on the island, and the beginning of the rivalry between Peter and James Hook.

I had high hopes for this book due to Dave Barry's reputation however I didn't find it extremely funny. It took me a while to finish I started several months ago and couldn't finish, it just moved to slow. I picked it up again in November and was able to finish it. The last half of the book was much better and held my interest. I may eventually get to the sequel but not any time soon.
