Summary: Lord of The Flies wasn't that bad
Review: I had to read Lord of the Flies for a class report a few weeks ago. Despite all of the bad reviews from others who had to read the book in high school, I didn't believe it was that bad. Yes, it was a bit over-descriptive, but many famous works are the same way. It is the only way for the author to help visualize the scenery. Some complain that it was confusing and jumped around too much, this isn't true in any way. One good point made earlier was the lack of reality. Children don't become savages in a matter of weeks, it would take at least a year. Overall, I would have to rate this book 4 stars due to lack of reality.

Summary: Thought-provoking and passionate
Review: Lord of the Flies adds a fresh perspective and new insight to philosophy's age-old discourse on the constant war between the rational and the physical. Hauntingly, Golding's prediction for 20th century adolescents, left to their own unsupervised (and uncivilized) self-determination applies to society at large as well as the individual. As Golding addresses the passionate struggles that are played out on the island and within the minds of the main characters, he challenges his audience to reflect on their own human nature as they try to identify with any of the characters--none of whom are overly endearing.Would I honestly be strong enough to stand alone against a group of peers, or would I too get caught up in the excitement of the anarchy and surrender to the thrill of the hunt. What would you do?

Summary: A disturbing, realistic book
Review: This is a very realistic book, this is probably be what society would be like with no laws or restraints. The violence, panicking, and irresponsibility. It can be disturbing, but I'm glad I read it. The hunters sometimes are so obsessed with killing and blood, they take things too far. This book is NOT for the squeamish, but I recommend it to anyone else.

Summary: A true insight into human nature
Review: This has to be one of the best books I have ever read, not only in school as a set text. We were so lucky to have decent books like this and 'Mockingbird' instead of the usual boring books with romantic storylines. William Golding is a true genius!! And he gets all of my respect. The story of the boys on the island is so sad and yet so true to life, and human nature. The tragedy is definately when Piggy dies. He was so intelligent and yet so unaccustomed to human ways and the real world. It was so sad. And I'm so glad that those left were found in the end.

Review: Not enough killing. Why couldn't they all die

Summary: Intriguing Story line, plot drags a little.
Review: This novel has an interesting view of human nature and its primal tendancies. The quality of writing and imagery is masked a little by over-usage of detail statements. The characters are complex and interesting, but the story could be told equally as effectively in 125 pages as it was in 202. In short: good book, worth buying.

Summary: :The story of kids who get marooned on a deserted island.
Review: This story is about a bunch of kids who get marooned on an island. There is only a few smart people, of course, and the rest savages. The book shows what will happen to a bunch of kids who have to strive for themselves. They thus form a government and it of course crashes. The kids are much too selfish to put up a fire signal to get help, thus they hunt and try to act like men in a true tribe. Yet all along, the lord who never actually apears, only once in an illusion, watches them: observes them, and acts as their silent wathcer, like their Lord. I give this book five stars becuase it pretty much shows how kids try to live on their own and what sinisterism they can obtain by living without authoirty.
