CAPT. HOOK

How did Peter Pan's nemesis become the evil pirate captain of Neverland? Putting a new spin on the J.M. Barrie story, screenwriter J.V. Hart tells the story of the raven-haired bastard son of an English lord, his expulsion from Eton, his thwarted love, and his first adventure at sea. John Keating's narration captures the ambiance of Eton in its elegant formality. In addition, Keating ably switches his manner to embody characters that are high and mighty, snide and deceitful, sad and tortured. CAPT. HOOK is an engaging story full of moral ambiguity and high adventure that will have listeners of all ages hooked. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
