Lord of the Flies

Reader reviewed by Samantha L

This book I had to read for school. I was very dissappointed with the whole structure of it. It seemed to me that the author skips around a lot with too many different scenes. The book did have some interesting points, I have to admit. For the most part though, it was a complete waste of my summer. Even the end of the book seemed strained, like the author wanted to end it as much as I did.

If you have a choice, do not pick up this book if you want to have a good time.

I have tried numerous times to read this book and enjoy it, but it never happens. I read this in school and hated it. Everyone would talk about how great it was, but I never felt the same way. I disliked the abuse and hatred that the island boys experienced. They were savages. Granted, the book does have some good messages and I have grown to appreciate a little more over the years, I still dislike it.
