Summary: Interesting Symbolism...
Review: As I began to read this book, I was completely bored. I had to stick with it because it is required to read. Good thing I did; I started to see the symbolism in the story, instead of just a book about kids stuck on an island."Lord of the Flies" basically means "The Lord of all Evil", and that is conveyed extremely well in this book.

Summary: The best book I have ever read
Review: I just finished this for my freshman English class. I can undestand why peoplewouldn't get it, but our teacher discussed each chapter with us as we went, and I really got how powerful this book was. Stephen King said this is the book he wishes he had written, and I can see why. I don't agree with Goldings dark view of humanity, but I didn't see this book as allt hat pesiimistic. Their WERE good people on the island, even if they died. All the characters were very realistic. Thier metamorphasis in the book was facinating. I think everyonbe should read this book.

Summary: Read This
Review: I don't get why every one says this is such a great book. It was O.K., but not all that great. I gave it 4 stars because I thought the ending was awsome. What I didn't like was the way Golding used the dialouge in the book. He fails to mention who is speaking in a few parts of the book. He also fails to mention if Sam and Eric are identical twins or not. The first 5 or 6 chapters aren't all that great, and I don't really get why he calls it THE LORD OF THE FLIES, all that much. But I do have to say the ending is great.

Summary: This was a good book becasue it got a good point across.
Review: The point of the book was that if all people in the world got along then things should run smoothly. The one main reason that i enjoyed the book so much is because it had great detail that helped things to be understood easier. Also this book was good because it uses a realistic situation which makes things to be understood better from the reader's point of view. After reading this book and then being stranded on an island, the book could be a good source. It could help you out and give you ideas when stranded. There was one part that made the book exciting: this was when the conch was used at the beginning of the book. It had started the group off smoothly and basically ended group stiuations smoothly too. Without the conch, not as much success would have been accomplished. The conch had symbolized teamwork and togetherness. The conch was one of my favorite parts of the book, because it had solved the major problem of being stranded on the island.

Summary: This book was interesting and exciting
Review: I think I would rate this book a four star, because the story shows that kids aren't as mature as adults and can't handle themselves. Lord of the Flies is a book of excitement, and cliffhangers. It was interesting in many different ways. The story starts out seeming like a story that these kids are just going to live on an island until freed. Things become a lot more different in that the boys seem to be organized into a group that becomes uncivilized. Also shows that some kids do care and want things to be successful like Piggy. Near the end of the book, violence takes place. This point of the stroy I liked, because in a way it turned the story around in that they had more problems then just disorganization. The way this book just all tied together was so great, and was interesting. There aren't many books out there that have an ending so rough and everything else so exciting, but this one did. So all in all this book was up to par, and would be given a high number to a lot of people. I have read this book three times now and love it every time. i also feel this is good for sophmores to read, it was awesome.

Summary: You will never want to put this book down
Review: I think that this book is a great book for young adult audiences. It has enough action, to keep the reader glued to the book, while it involves a deep plot, that will excite any reader. There are many suspensful parts in the book, my favorite is in the end, where the boys hunt Ralph. It is very interesting, and it relstes in so many ways to societies in the world today; democratic opposed to a dictatorship. This is a classic that everyone must read.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: Symbolism played an important part in the development of story. This narrative technique is used to give a significance to certain people or objects, which represent some other figure. There are many other aspects in the story that may be considered symbolism, but the several above are probably the most significant. Another good example of symbolism, brought to my attention by a site visitor, is the shape of the island. The boat shape of the island is an ancient symbol of civilization. The water current around the island seems to be "flowing backwards," giving the subtle impression that civilization may be going backwards for the island or its inhabitants. Additionally, another reader pointed out that Jack could also represent Communism or Fascism. Golding was influenced by events during the time period that the book was written, which was around World War II.

Summary: Never under-estimate the power of the dark side.
Review: It is my understanding that this book is widely read in middle and high schools across this country by who I can only assume are impressionable children. My critique of this book is also a bit of advice I offer to the teachers of our youth. Don't go half-way with this book. Golding has done an astouding job depicting the seed of evil that has been planted in every human being since the Garden of Eden slip up. Tell the children who the Lord of the Flies is. But, be careful... This is a very serious book that could have a positive or negative impact on a child. I'm sure that the movie KIDS (written by Harmony Korine) would never be shown in a high school classroom, but really, this book and that movie drive at the same ideas. I'm only asking teachers and administrators to keep this in mind when they decide to make Golding a part of their curriculum, because it would be a perversion of classic literature to water down Golding's dark portrayal of human nature....
