: Kim Scharf Monrovia, CA USA - 2010年7月29日Loved this book!
This book was awesome. I couldn't stop reading it. It was about surviving on an island and finding more people. So I'm going to write a review. Here is what the book is about.
Two boys, Ralph and Piggy were alone on an island, so they thought. When they went to the beach, they found a conch. Since Piggy didn't want to blow it Ralph blew and more kids came. Since there were more kids, some people wanted the leader to be a kid named Jack and some people wanted Ralph to be leader. They took a vote and Ralph was leader.
One day, they went to a rock and climbed it. Ralph and Jack and a kid named Roger came with them. Then, they went down. They then decide to split in to two groups but they would still stay in touch. They then walked back to their base.
Another day, Jack's group stole Piggy's glasses and he got mad and told them to give them back. They said no. Then, they invaded (invaded what?). Later, a guy on a boat came to bring them back home. He asked if any were dead. Ralph said two. They took them and they never went back to the island.
They got rescued. Most stories like this; at the end they get rescued. I always predict that and I'm always right. This book should be read by kids. It's a great book. The font is a little small but I still liked it.

the author does a great job at depicting our animal instincts kicking in when is a matter of life and death......I love the fact that the characters are kids......now on to the movie!

A very interesting story of how everyone can lose their minds, turning some turn into savages and others into animals. Good suspense. Great addition to the utopia/dystopia genre.
: A. Karamchandani IN - 2010年6月21日boaring book
this is a classic but most of the book describes the scene and there is not much focus on the story line. If you are an english literature buff you will like the fancy language. I am an engineer and would like to move on with the story.
: Michael Smith Linden, MI - 2010年5月31日The Lord of the Flies
The Lord of the Flies was bittersweet for me. Here's some reasons why.
I loved what Golding was doing here. I loved how he portrayed innocent schoolboys turning into violent savages. At first, the boys set up a democracy of sorts, by voting for Ralph as their leader. That is soon destroyed, with Jack being the catalyst. He started out as a boy who think rules are necessary, to one who thinks they are nonsense. And some of their ritual scenes were downright insane, especially the one involving Simon. The fact that the Lord of the Flies is in all of them is interesting, too.
I also loved what Golding was saying about the adult world. Throughout most of the novel, the boys wish they had adults there to help guide them on the right path. However, in the skies above them, adults are killing each other because they can't agree on anything. Golding is showing that this is not a novel about how lack of adult supervision will lead kids to do bad things. It's about humanity as a whole. The boys represent different ideologies, and when those idologies don't agree, the inevitable solution is to fight.
However, I didn't care about the characters at all. Certain characters would die, and I honestly wouldn't care at all. Maybe it's becuase this is a short novel, and the reader wasn't given enough time to become emotionally attached to the characters. I know this is meant to be an allegory for human nature, and the characters are not the most important, but I still like to become attached to characters, and feel for them when they die.
The ending also left something to be desired. It just sort of dropped off. I get that the boys are leaving one world of chaos for another, but it was still a little disappointing.
Overall, I suggest you read it. I liked it, and think it's an important book to read.
One other important thing of note: In the scene where Jack and the gang are killing a mother pig, take note of Golding's diction. Does it remind you of something other than just a killing?
