This book is awesome. One of my absolute favourite books—a haunting display of how easily humans can revert to savages in extreme circumstances. Another book every teenager should read.
Ik vond dit een goed boek, maar erg moeilijk om een review over te schrijven.Dit boek vertelt hoe de mens 2 instincten heeft. Het instinct om regels te volgen, in vrede te leven en orde te hebben tegen het instinct om macht uit te oefenen over anderen, zelfzuchtig te handelen en lak hebben aan regel...
This book is one of those rare classics that a person like me, can read and understand. I'm not a fan of the genre but Lord Of The Flies stand out! I read it once when I was in school, but I never quite understood it with the clarity that I do now. This book serves as a meditation on two extreme sid...
A hard book to rate...although it is well written and the content gets unpleasantly graphic and awkward. Its very disturbing and devastating and this novel is very powerful. This book reveals the darkness of mankind and the value of civilization.

I discovered this book right after finishing my English literature class, which was a shame, as it would have fit perfectly in with the other books (it was the period of my growing interest in Dystopian literature, and I felt it would have been in its place with 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit ...
This is a good book. It is not, however, a great book. It aspires to be. It even purports to be. It does not quite get there. i was very impressed with this book when I read it in high school. But that was 25 years ago, and reading it now, I don't find it as compelling. I have read so many b...
