Summary: Frighteningly realistic; an excellent parody.
Review: Takes place on a deserted island, a group of boys struggle to survive the harsh nature of the island and moreover,their own avarice. This masterpiece reveals the natural instinct of every living thing under desperate circumstances; the symbolic factor is too strong for even Golding himself to fully grasp. From the glasses of Piggy to the wild "beast" , this is an excellent choice for all readers.

Summary: An admission
Review: This book is exceedingly well-paced and well-written, almost tailor made for class discussions. However, I didn't like it for a simple reason: its message is profoundly disturbing. Golding's view of mankind may be correct, which is even more scary.

Summary: I hated it
Review: I saw the movie and read the book. I thought it was realistic but horrible. It is gruesome, and the details of the killings are unnecessary. I rated 2 stars because it was a realalistic and made good conversation in my religion class. Send your comments of my review to my email please.

Summary: Very well done
Review: This book is one of those book with many hidden meanings that you need to think about while reading. Unlike many books done like this, Golding accomplished it well. The only reason I didn't give this novel 5 stars was because of the unrealistic way the author presented the boys in the novel. If all these boys had landed on an island, at the age under 10, with their parents dead, would they not breakdown? You cannot expect children after this traumatic experience to immediately call order and behave accordingly. Yes, I agree with the chaos part, but that should have came first, then the order. That is what would happen with real children in real life. Thank you

Summary: Not for everyone
Review: I found this book to be very well written. I did not want to put it down until I had finished it. However, I don't like violence very much and there were scenes in this book that were so vividly described that I wanted to close my eyes. Anyone who has read a book knows this doesn't help very much.Overall, I found it very thought provoking in its exploration of the nature of man. I wonder if women would behave differently?

Summary: Wow.
Review: Lord of the Flies was surprisingly a great book. I expected a dull and dragging book which is probably the exact opposite of what I got. It was gripping and it kept me reading. It can get boring ,of course, when your English teacher feels the need to analyze every line. That did help, in the long run, for me to understand the depth of the book. I'd reccomend this to anyone who enjoys reading.

Summary: Very good writing, buy not for me
Review: I just finished reading this book in my 8th grade English class. Golding is a fantastic writer, but the book was not my type. There were to many gory detales, but it really made me think. I would recommand this book to anyone who likes to really think about what they read.
Rating:
Summary: Has everything a good book should have
Review: Lord of the Flies is an amazing book that has everything a good book should have. Golding shows the progression of the kids in the book with brilliance. This book is disturbing, so get ready to brace yourself, and try not to rip the book apart. If you want to read a great book, definetly pick this book up.

Summary: A Modern Classic
Review: The author, in writing about a group of plane-wrecked children's struggle to survive on an island, has elegantly revealed the structure and workings of the human psyche. A very enjoyable read for everyone, regardless of age or sex.
Rating:
Summary: Incredible
Review: This was a spectacular novel. Like many of the critics, I had to read this novel for my english class. My teacher did not enjoy it, for it was very graphic, yet it was precise in its message. Man is a savage beast, and under any circumstance, the beast from within can emerge. The island was a microcosm of the boys' world in which a war was occuring. The loss of innocence was touching. Read this book!!!!
