Another Pan is the sequel to Another Faust, which I read, probably, close to 9 years ago now, so it's a good thing there isn't much story overlap!Another Pan is a rather cluttered re-imagining of Peter Pan, set in a modern boarding school for wealthy and smart children, while also simultaneously attempting to explain the mechanics of the villain from the previous volume. The Peter Pan parts really seemed to get lost in much of the inaccurate and muddled Egyptian-set myths - which also seemed to

In a hundred words or less:Was very excited when I picked up this book. The modernization of a classic tale always catches my interest, but unfortunately this book was a disappointment. It takes a skilled writter to tell a story from many different perspectives in order for it to flow smoothly; however, this story did not. I felt detached from the characters and didn't even find them likable. I had difficulty even finishing it. This book had potential, but bottom line...It was poorly written.

It's kind of fun to have someone read your "name" back at you. :D

I have to give it to Daniel and Dina Nayeri, they have really impressed me with their creative ability when it comes to retelling classic stories. First with Another Faust and now taking the well known Peter Pan and making it their own. I'm a huge fan of the classics so I usually love a good retelling and Another Pan was no exception.When Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, old Egyptian curses and lore, and a posh New York school are combined, readers will find themselves in for an incredible adventure...

If you read my comments on Another Faust, you'll see that I thought the Nayeri siblings had a number of great ideas but were not able to solve one significant psychological flaw in the book. I was excited to read Another Pan because I find the original Pan tale more compelling than the original Faust, and because I figured that there was a good chance the authors had learned and grown and would create an overall better work.Sadly... no.There are a handful of intriguing ideas in this book, but wh...

I hate to give any book this low of a rating - I know what it takes to actually finish a manuscript and get it through the process of becoming a book. But.I want to warn anyone who picks this up thinking it'll be a cool retelling of the Peter Pan legend we all know and love. If you like/love/know the story of Peter Pan, you will be disappointed in this book and the characters Mr. Nayeri has turned them into.I did read this whole book, and I kept waiting for it to redeem itself. It never did. Fir...

DNF.Facepalm. Oh boy. This book... Well, the only fitting word I can think of to describe it is sucks. Early on, when I was starting to realize I wasn't enjoying this as much as I wanted to be, I was hoping this would turn out to be one of those "Well, it's not good but it's got such-and-such merits, it's finishable, and if you're interested in the genre, you should read it anyway," type fares. But it's not even that... What's most frustrating is WHAT sucks about it. There are several points tha...

When I read Another Pan I was so excited because of the terms that Another Faust left off on. While at first, before I even read the synopsis and I had just been staring at (yet again) another beautiful cover, I was wondering why is was titled Another Pan. Pan? Pan?! As in frying pan?No... Pan as in Peter Pan! Like the Disney movie with the kid in green tights! Of course the Nayeri duo gave a new twist to the story of Peter Pan adding in a mix dark magic, romance and Egyptian history. I have to

The Marlowe books are retellings of well-known stories, Another Pan being a retelling of Peter Pan. I love Peter Pan, and this was my first re-telling of that classic, so I was excited to get into it.What I Liked: 1) Peter Pan. It's Peter Pan! Who doesn't love Peter Pan? 2) Instead of following the pattern of Peter Pan as we know it, the authors tied it together with a Greek myth, which is how they brought the Marlowe School into it. This whole story is very unique and will keep you guessing unt...

ARCAnother Pan is the second in the "Another Series" by Daniel and Dina Nayeri. Set in the same elite school in New York, called Marlowe, with the same manipulating,seemingly all powerful and all knowing antagonist; this book follows the dark and deadly story of Wendy and John Darling, who are students in Marlowe. When a new resident advisor, named Peter, comes to work at Marlowe, Wendy cannot help but be entranced by his beauty ,and his secrets. But as she learns some of those secrets, she and

No, no, no , NO! I loved Pan as a little girl. I used to dream about the boy who refused to grow up. And him and Wendy, I used to love to think that they were perfect for each other. Now that I am 14 years old, I have abandoned my Peter Pan bedding and wallpaper but still have my Tinker Bell mural hanging proudly on my wall. Why I am telling you this? What does this have to do with the book? IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK! I was in the library and I stumbled upon this novel. I thought, oh...

Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: Myth, fairy tale, contemporary high school drama, and the paranormal combine in a fast-paced and chilling adventure through space and time.Opening Sentence: All nights come to an end–that is to say, all nights see the break of day.The Review:By far my favorite of the Another series for several reasons. Daniel and Dina Nayeri built on the first book of the series but added so much more. Familiarity with the story of Peter Pan definitely added to...

I honestly only made it to page 36 before I stopped reading. I've always been a huge fan of Peter Pan, so I was very excited about reading this book, but right away it just came off as someone writing and suddenly thinking, "oh, I think I'll add Peter Pan into this story" when they were on final editing. after page 36 I just skimmed the rest of the book and yes, Peter is an arrogant, selfish person, but from everything that i skimmed the authors made him come across as a comepletely ass, and whe...

This book has such a crazy cover! It really looks like it would be a dreadfully bad romance. There is romance, but this story is more of an Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter meets Teenage Prep-school series. The story focuses on Wendy and John Darling, who are the teenage offspring of aging, absent-minded Professor Darling, disgraced Egyptologist and headmaster of the Marlowe school where Wendy and John are students. Poor Wendy and John must deal with ostracism and the scorn of their wealthy clas...

I must say that Daniel & Dina Nayeri are very talented in recreating well-known classic stories. First with Another Faust and now with Another Pan they were able to showcase how talented they really are in giving these classic tales a more modern spin. As a fan of fairytale and classic remakes this definitely appealed to my senses.You'll recognize all the characters in this story - Peter, the Lost Boys, Wendy and John Darling - yep, they're all in there. Now combine those characters with Egyptia...

Review: A wonderfully paced and deliciously engaging retelling of Barry's "Peter Pan" that somehow, mysteriously, admirably, forces one to sip, not gulp, while still holding the reader's curious attention. This book has a stunning opening and unfolds in one tempting bit after another. With witty little sections of interlude, this retelling delivers an interesting and artistic literary production. One will enjoy the enticing web of the injected twists and layers to this classic children's tale.
