Classic!

The premise of Lord of the Flies is fairly uncomplicated. English schoolboys are stranded after a plane crash and forced to survive on a deserted island. The school bully system slowly turns into pure savagery and as the reader expects someone gets it badly. There's lessons in here for all.

Ok, for a must read

One of the very few books I was assigned to read during my school days. A quick read, mostly because it isn't boring so I didn't want to put it down.

required reading for teens

Like most everyone else, I read this book because it was required reading in ninth or tenth grade. I recently reread it with my thirteen year old son and discussed it with him. For him, as I suspect it would be for most young readers, it was a magnificent introductory illustration of the distinction between the literal and the metaphoric in literature.

John Welte's Review

The Lord of the Flies was a book that I was required to read at the start of tenth grade. When I started reading the book I wasn't interested right away. I thought the book lacked any action, and I couldn't identify with any of the characters, personally. Honestly, I kept reading because of obligation. Eventually I realized it was a good book. Towards the second half of the book the author added action and the characters evolved. Arguments took place among the boys which started fighting and drama. When the story started picking up it had me excited until the very end. Overall, I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a great adventure book.
