Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Mrs. B.

The Lord of the Flies portrays an interesting look into the mind of the lost. These boys, moving from civilized young men to a savage people, force readers to take a deeper look at what is inside themselves.

Characters are well-defined, pulling readers in and twisting them around with each event. The deaths of some of the characters makes the reader feel both sympathy and anger- sympathy that these children have endured so much, anger that they would commit such horrific acts.
