Book Reviews of Lord of the Flies
Book Review: "All we have is the rules"
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever fantasize that you are on an island free from the restraints of society? William Golding has taken that scenario to the nth in this story of a bunch of English boys, plane wrecked on an island during WWII.
We see the fabric of society slowly and most assuredly ripping as the rules are discarded one by one. Golding is very graphic in his description of the demise of pigs and plants.
One will never look at fun and games in the same way.

Book Review: Golding reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Way cool! I am going to start teaching Lord of the Flies right after fall break. I have been previewing this audio version on may long drive to and from work (about 30 minutes each way.) I was so impressed with Golding reading his own book! I must say I cried at the end when Ralph breaks down---Golding made this book come to life! I also like Golding's commentary at the end regarding the meaning of the book. I would tell you, but you need to hear it for yourself!Book Review: Good recording.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was read by the author which normally can be a concern. However he was an excellent reader and all in all a good listen. It was nice then to hear the author's comments before and after in the same voice.Book Review: Lord of the Flies
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the book on cds for my daughter's 8th grade class. They truly enjoyed having this book on cds so they can follow the reading in class. It was clear and the narrator was great.
Book Review: Four Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this audio CD as an accommodation (academic support) for a special education student. The CD arrived very soon after I had ordered it. I allowed my student to use the discs to listen to the book while her class was reading it. This allowed her to re-read sections she wasn't sure about, or to pause and take a break when she was overlaoded.
The only "concern" I had was that the author (who records the entire book) has a British accent, and it took the student some time to get accustomed to the difference in pronounciations.
The audio helped her, a lot, so thank you Amazon, for helping ME to help HER!
