Summary: DONT READ THIS! NO!!!!
Review: I have looked at all the reviews on this book and I have found that most of them are 5 and 4 stars!!! How could that be???? This is one of the worst books that I have ever read! The descriptions are meaningless and when the author do describes something he takes a page to describe something that should take 3 sentences at the most. I did not like the plot of this story and although it had an interesting idea I don't think the author did much with it. It is full of violence that is un-needed. If you see this book on the shelves, cover your innocent eyes from this evil, and run! DO NOT LOOK BACK! If this book was a horse, I would shoot it! It is very annoying to read and this book scares little children!

Summary: addicting!
Review: While reading this book, I found that I couldn't put it down! Even with some of the more descriptive parts, dealing with the killing of the pig, and Simon, ect., I was repulsed, yet at the same time I was captivated. I's definately worth reading, but not if you're sensitive to violence.

Summary: steps of corruption
Review: I think that this book is a great example of how corruption can begin and infectiously spread through a seemingly good group of boys. It is great for teenagers and adults to read to see how easy it really is to fall into the bad crowd because you are scared of being a leader of your life and future.

Summary: An excellent book for anyone from "littluns" to "bigguns"...
Review: My English class has just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and the way Golding uses symbolism is amazing! EVERYTHING in this book is a symbol! Golding can see right into mans' evil and destructive nature. He shows us how destructive we can be by setting forests on fire, pushing boulders off cliffs, and childrens' games of throwing sand and rocks at each other. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and definitly recommend it for anyone. Read it! Golding's perspective of us humans is very thought-provoking. By the way...this book does not take place during WW2. Have you ever heard of an ejectable passenger tube on an airplane? No. He wrote it to be some time in the future--anytime actually. But time is not important. If it were a specific time it may not apply to us now in the present, but it does. It can apply to anyone, and that's how he wanted it to be.

Summary: Lord of the Flies is a book many people would enjoy.
Review: Overall, I liked Lord of the Flies. Golding developed the plot well and there were not any of the dry, boring parts which make me yawn and want to stop reading. I appreciated that the plot didn't make the ending obvious. A weak point of the book which bothered me was that all the dead bodies were conveniently washed out to sea. Reading this book made me think about human nature and the different ways different types of people react. Simon, in my opinion, was the best character since he could step back and look at events and decisions from a different perspective. I believe he was a very crucial character, who was not too wrapped up in himself. Showing him helping the littluns get fruit was good since it points out that there is good in human nature. I found the conflict between Ralph and Jack to be intriguing. I like how Golding showed the struggle between good and evil through out the book. This is an intriguing and thought-provoking book which I recommend to almost everyone.

Summary: This book was a great book to read.
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. I was a little worried about what kind of book it was in the beginning, but I am really glad that I stuck with it till the very end. Golding did an excellent job of describing where the boys had landed and what the boys looked like. Golding used the simple technique called description that captivated my attention from the very first chapter. Golding really knows how to right a book to engulf readers who really don't like to read. I would recommend this book to those who like an interesting book that is filled with suspense, the fight between good and evil, and the change from adolescence to adulthood.
