Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Diana

I was forced to read Lord of the Flies for the dreaded summer assignment this year for 10th grade english. I opend the book expecting it to be a snore fest and at first my expectations were met but once I got about half way through the book I was starting to enjoy myself.
In Lord of the Flies a group of boys are stranded on a deserted island with no adults. They decided to elect a leader and attempt to live civally. At first everyone is doing ok, but then some boys decide to go hunting. After their first kill things start to go downhill, the boys have relized the thrill of the kill and have reached into their inner animal. Soon things go from bad to worse and everyone is in fear of their lives.
This book is all about the inner evil that resides in everyone. It gets kinda deep, but its really pretty good by the end.
