Summary: Golding is a genious.
Review: This book had me interested from the beginning until the boys were rescued. Many different level of conflicts is displayed here. Human vs. human's nature, Human vs. Fears...etc. I have to read this book as a requirement for Honor English IV. I must say that this book is engrossing. Sure, there are some that won't like this book, maybe it is so because they did not fully comprehend the story, thus they make hasty judgement. For me, I thinks that this book has tremendous literature values. Every single one of us should at least read it once.

Summary: Innocence to Evil
Review: Great read on several levels. Quick, manageable to finish, but the story sticks to the mind long after it's finished, begging to be peeled. The story seems overfamiliar in today's world, especially with 11 year-olds shooting others and tying small children to railroad tracks. When it was first published, it must have been mind-boggling.

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: This is a must read book for all 5-9th graders. The story about a buncha kids trapped on a island teaches you about society in general. Its violence, brutality, etc. Makes you wanna be work together instead of fighting each other. Very entertaining and interesting

Summary: Incredible, moving, a great read.
Review: Although I read this some time ago I still remember the impact it had on me. " Lord of the Flies" must be read by the masses and loved. Though they are school boys Golding introduces a great glimpse of adult thinking. The boys become wild and they even have a desire to kill. The worshipping of the Lord of the flies is very well explained. You there, READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: Different perspective
Review: I am a college student and was required to read Lord of the Flies my freshman year of high school. I don't think anyone in my class, even the professor, enjoyed it. Until visiting Amazon.com, I had never met anyone who liked this book. Universiality or something appealing to all people is a criteria in judging good art.

Summary: Required reading!
Review: William Golding's notorious masterpiece calls into question everything we are conventionally led to believe - from the inherent goodness of children to the corrupting influence of society.A group of young boys, stranded on a desert island with no means of outside contact, serve as mirrors of the conditions of both human society and man's nature - at the beginning, democratic and virtuous, in the final pages living in anarchy and reduced to vicious savagery and violence. Never loses its sense of realism, the Lord of the Flies is a compelling portrait of the darkness of man's heart.
