The Lord of the Flies

[Slade]

I studies it in 6th form English and loved it. I also watched the movie afterwards, it wasn't as good as the book, but was still pretty cool.

I read the book first then saw the black and white movie which was pretty good, but I liked the book so much better. There's so much stuff I probably missed in the first read through, so I'm going to have to read it again.

The majority of people I talk to seem to loathe Lord of the Flies, but personally I thought it was a great book. It's one of those stories that some people just don't get, I think.

I so agree with this. As per the writing style, I think if you over analyze while reading (as many do with this book) you loose yourself in the simplicity and exactness of the descpritions. You really have to let your mind go to enjoy any of Golding's works. He is a very gifted and talented man.

Wow I read it my senior year of highschool and man my English teacher was the best.

Awesome lectures, and exspects you to get involved.

We literally broke down the book it was pretty good.

I think that was my favorite part of the story. It is what it is, and yet a speculative glance can really reveal so many layers. So many other 'pop' books use obvious symbolism (The matrix, though a movie, is such a good example). This story refuses to comprimise itself for the sake of symbolism, and yet maintians such a concrete theme front to back; pur genious.

I am listening to another audio book favorite atm; "Animal Farm".
