"All we have are the rules."

Ever fantasize that you are on an island free from the restraints of society? William Golding has taken that scenario to the nth degree in this story of a bunch of English boys whose plane wrecked on an island during WWII. We see the fabric of society slowly and most assuredly ripping as the rules are discarded one by one. Golding is very graphic in his description of the demise of pigs and plants. One will never look at fun and games in the same way. In some places, this is mandatory reading as a classic; in other places, it is banned. The book is best known for what it says, not how it says it. In any case, you must read for cultural literature knowledge.
