About the Book:
dreaming of adventure.
Today, it found him.
Caught in a chilly October storm, he ducked into a tavern, hoping to escape the
rain. What he found, was a room teeming with pirates. Shanghaied by the most
elderly of the lot, Archie found himself serving on a ship captained by the
fiercest pirate ever to sail the seven seas–the man known as Blackbeard.
Through a series of thrilling twists, Archie finds himself captain of another
of Blackbeard’s ships, the Jolig Roger. In an attempt to flee danger, his ship
becomes lost under stars never before seen.
Determined to save both his crew and the woman he loves, Archie will make
decisions that will forever seal his fate.
Discover the untold story of the man who became Captain Hook.
My Review:
fascinated about this book. I’m a huge pirate, Disney, fairy tales fan so when
I read about the upcoming book tour for ‘Hook’ I immediately signed up. I loved
the cover and I couldn’t wait to start reading. My expectations where really
high because I just love stories about captain Hook and Peter Pan. So as soon
as possible, I started reading.
The thing about ‘Hook’ is, that it’s a difficult story towrite. The characters in ‘Hook’ are already well known around the world through
the Disney movies and there are some things you will be expecting in this book.
So I think it’s very brave of K.R. Thompson to write this book. This book is
the untold story about the man who became Captain Hook and right from the
beginning I was fascinated.
very boring and dreams of big adventures. When he suddenly finds himself on a
huge ship surrounded by pirates he knows his life has been changed forever.
characters you know or heard of in the other stories of Peter Pan and Captain
Hook, but that doesn’t mean you will ‘know’ the characters in this book. No,
most times you know the name but the character and the way they are in this
book are totally different. For example Tiger Lily. I knew Tiger Lily as the
young Indian girl who was kidnapped by Captain Hook and was about to drown in
the sea when Peter Pan saved her, in this book that doesn’t happen. In this
book, this character has a totally different adventure.
really fascinated by this story. I loved reading about Archie and the way his
life changed completely. I loved the way the pirates lived and fought and how
they survived different situations on sea. I loved the little pixie Tinker Bell
and the way she found Archie. And most of all I loved the way Archie, became
Captain Hook.
hoped it would be, but it was still a great read. Like I said before, it’s very
difficult to write a story about characters who are known around the world so
my expectations where much too high. But this story was not disappointing, it
was enjoyable and if you are a fan of Captain Hook you will definitely like
this one.
