Age
I'm surprised that the age of the book's characters has not been brought up more often. I think it's absolutely essential to notice that Jack and his friends are acting only slightly older than teenagers, when really they are in their thirties. Even today such people would be looked upon as irresponsible. It is similar to the idea of the lost boys, the boys who never grow up. That is what makes Jack's adventures so intriguing, that they are painted in this Neverland that only exists for them.

Going on a adventure makes one's heart beat fast from excitement. When one is excited, one feels young for some reason. Maybe it is because when they are on a journey, time doesn't matter and in this case, Jack and his friends probably forgot about time and aging. They really were like the lost boys in Neverland.
Jack and his friends were all acting wild like teens and seemed very immature like the lost boys who never grew up.
