" Essentially I like this as a book about government. This book, like frankenstein, led me to ponder life without authority figures to guide people.
I thought this book would be about boys adventuring on an island but i was a bit off. " This book was pretty nice, there's a lot symbolism used (which i love). This book lays it all out in graphic, heart wrenching, eye opening detail. Life is full of the bullies, weaklings, followers, bosses, etc. " It is one of those books you must read in your youth to prepare you for life. He is not a great reader but he does a great service to the authenticity of the body of work. Of particular note, the author William Golding reads the book. There is an attempt to organize but with kids that young it just wasn't possible. Of course every knows the outline of the story so it was no surprise that these young boys that are stranded on a tropical island reverted back to uncivilized human beings.

Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.The novel is required reading in many of the world's top schools and educational institutions. It is widely acknowledged as a modern classic in English literature and was even included by the editors of TIME magazine in their list of the 100 top English-language novels. Originally published in 1954, Lord of the Flies was William Golding's first novel. However freed from the constraints of society and its attendant rules the boys quickly divide into warring factions with chaos, violence and paranoia becoming the order of the day. After escaping the wreckage of the plane the boys initially attempt to maintain some sense of order so as to survive and hopefully be rescued. When a plane carrying British war evacuees crashes on a remote tropical island and leaves a group of young schoolboys as the only survivors, the events that unfold afterward are both provocative and chilling. Controversial and thought-provoking, Lord of the Flies is a compelling allegory on human civilization and what happens in the absence of societal order.
