Book Reviews of Lord of the Flies
Book Review: Excellent story with good insight from the author
Summary: 4 Stars
I listened to this book during my commute to and from work, and was impressed that the reading was done by the author. Though he did not make the characters sound any different (so at times it was difficult to tell who was speaking), this was tempered by the fact that his accent fit the story quite well and his comments before and after the reading were particularly insightful. The story itself focuses on the most basic characteristics of the human race, and the struggles that result between those various characteristics. Though this is considered a young adult read, I enjoyed it and looked forward to listening every day.
Summary of Lord of the Flies
William Golding's classic novel of primitive savagery and survival is one of the most vividly realized and riveting works in modern fiction. The tale begins after a plane wreck deposits a group of English school boys, aged six to twelve on an isolated tropical island. Their struggle to survive and impose order quickly evolves from a battle against nature into a battle against their own primitive instincts. Golding's portrayal of the collapse of social order into chaos draws the fine line between innocence and savagery.Children's Fiction Books
