Summary: A masterpiece
Review: In eighth grade, we had a big list of books to choose from...we had to read one for a grade. Up till then, I had picked all the books with accessible Cliffs Notes, this time I picked The Lord of the Flies. This is the book that seriously got me to believe that reading is not a waste of time and effort. It was absolutely amazing and it connected with the primal instincts of man and corruption. The concept of it appealed to me as an eighth grader, a friend described it as..."a group of boys are on an island, they form groups and start killing each other..." As far as I was concerned, this was better than Anna Karenina or all that other Literature stuff they make you read. Two years later, I picked it up again. Older and more understanding, I understood the concept Golding was trying to convey. It is amazing. It bares the instinct and nature of man in a vivid harsh way. This was the first book I read without Cliffs Notes and I truly appreciated it. Now I'm back to reading gibberish again as a sophomore in high school but The Lord of the Flies will always be one of my favorite books.

Summary: A book that digs deep into the feelings and emotions of man!
Review: This book was on of the few books that has effected me in such a way that I dont't think I could ever forget such an awsome and estute ride through the foundations of of chaos and order. A true literary classic, recommended to all ages.

Summary: A book that deserves five stars.
Review: Some people may be wondering why I gave this book 5 stars. I thought this book deserved all five stars because of the deepness in the meaning. It portrays all sorts of societies. It shows how when rules are taken away from mankind there is a total chaos. People are not willing to admit the problems that they create(the beast) and they can't admit that mankind has an evil instinct. This book's message is very important in helping one realize how they can control or not control their instincts. This is a wonderful book that deserves all five stars.

Summary: I liked the book so much I wrote a review for it.
Review: Cool! Exciting and interesting. It is a classic story about man verses man. The story is about a bunch of boys who gets stranded on an island. There are two main characters, Jack and Ralph. Jack represents the savage in all men, and Ralph repressents the civilized in us. The savages hunt all day and kill whoever does not agree with them. The thing I liked about the book is how they described their way of life on the island. The thing I did not like about the book is that the beginning of each chapter is so slow so it is hard to get into the book. All together the book was awesome and I recommend you reading it.

Summary: It was great!
Review: "Lord of the Flies" is a wonderful book. We had to read it in english class. It has so many parallels to the real world, that I can't even name them all. It is definitely a creepy book that makes you question whether man is truly innocent or evil at birth. I whole-heartedly reccomend this book, although there are some points where the author tends to linger on one unimportant subject for a long period of time.

Summary: It was boring, but informative.
Review: I felt that the book "Lord of the Flies" was very hard to get into. It has a lot of description, so that you feel right there with the characters on the island, which is what made me continue reading!!! It had a very unsatisfying finish; it ended too quickly and without any resolution!

Summary: Where are the women?
Review: It was an entertaining, fast read. If the book is essentially about man's primitive wants and desires, then where are the women? I don't buy the fact that the pig represents a woman. Maybe someone can help me out on this one!

Summary: What a waste of time!!
Review: I really hated this book. I only read it because I was forced to read it in school. I think that the author is trying too hard to write a good book. There must have been a reason why this was out on the market for 5 years before anyone picked it up. The author tells you too much information in a short amount of time. He starts to talk about something and then just moves on to something else. He also leaves you hanging. He also uses way too many uncompleted sentences! Reading this book was a complete and total waste of my time!!!!!!
