hi.
I liked the idea of the book, but some parts just made me laugh. I didn't care for the book or the movie.
The movies were pretty crap. (There's an english black and white version, and an american colour version)
The book is alright. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it if it wern't for the deep analysis' in English classes.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I don't really care if it's a literary masterpiece or if it has a ton of symbolism, the fact is, that book is terribly boring. I wasn't enthralled by it in the least. Sure, it was interesting (if only for numerous high school analysis), but it was still terribly boring. I won't read it again willfully.
I like the symbolism. Simon was my favorite character.

I enjoyed the black and white movie, the book was ok, too much description, not enough dialogue. And I hated nit-picking it apart cause now I do that with every book, film or TV programme. It annoys people around me cause I go on about symbolism and such.
The scene with Piggy and the boulder was so sad. I had to watch it for my GCSE english whilst my mates watched To Kill a Mockingbird or Of Mice and Men. That annoyed me because I had heard of those books and films, but most of the time when you mention Lord of The Flies or William Golding, people havent got a clue.
I read it in English 9 honors. I liked it myself, I just didn't like how Jack treated the other kids.
i probably wouldve liked it had it not been butchered by my english teacher... seriously, when you go into to much detail analyzing a text, it really ruins the story...
I thought about that book for a long time after reading it
One of my favorite books, i really need to find a copy of it, it's such a great story and i cried when Piggy and Simon died, that Jack is a right bastard.
it's apparently based on another book where a group of kids get starnded on an island but have a great time, even the main Characters are named Jack and Ralph as well. So really Lord Of The Flies is amore sinister, more realistic version of that story
I thought it was great, but it's obviously a very complex novel with alot more going on than what's seen on the surface. You have to dig deep to understand alot of it, and even though I love the book, I know I still don't understand it 100%
I studied it for English Lit. I once read 3 chapters in 15 minutes for a lesson. I never want to read it again.

Me either, but because it was so .. creepy. I saw the black and white movie in my English class and the part when Piggy died.. I was like um ok I never want to read this book again.
hi.
I liked this book. It's clearly set in the aftermath of a global nuclear war, contrary to the common belief that it's set during World War 2, symbolised by the " brassy glare " of the clouds.
It's a good book, but not my favorite
