incredible

This novel was masterfully written. It only took a day for me to read it. If you love the battle between good and evil, this is the novel for you!

A exellent novel, that shows the struggle between good and e

I believe that lord of the flies is one of the best books i have read for a really long time. It described terrible traumas that happened on the ilsland between the boys and really made you think about the roles searching for a explanation. It helped me see that we all have to deal with being good or bad because there will always be the Ralphs, the simons, the Jacks, the piggys and the Rogers out there and we have to strive to be the right one and hang out with the right ones.

This was a great book and a great religious allegory

I would recomend this book to any and everyone who likes William Golding and his unique style of writing books. We were reading this book in school and at first it wasn't to my liking but now it is one of my favorite books.

Masterpiece portrayal of human life

Golding gets it in this nove

A Literary Classic

Lord of the Flies is perhaps one of the greatest fictional works of the century. From a deliberately understated beginning, Golding gently increases the pace until the book literally tears into the reader's soul. Ralph, Piggy, Jack, Simon, et al, are all characters who represent more than simply a literary metaphor; rather they bring with them a mood and a concept. It would be churlish to attempt to describe such a book, instead I shall just say that if you only read one book this year, make sure that it is this one.
