Lord of the Flies by Williams Golding

Post by Gobberz1990 »

So, I am about to finish the book and, I wonder what you think. Personally, I think it is an excellent book. It shows us the reader, how we can degenerate into 'Savagery'. From the point of view of the book though, its through the eyes of children who, try and make sense of their situation through adult means - electing a leader for example. However, due to the influence of doubt and, jealousy it soon degenerates into arguments and even, murder.

I won't go on any further, I wonder if anyone of you have read it, what do you think?
