Book Review: LORD OF THE FLIES

Last night I finished reading a classic called Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

When a plane crashes and a big group of boys get stranded on an island, chaos erupts. The boys range in age from toddlers to teenagers. Together they have to find a way to get rescued and survive on the island. They are afraid of 'The Beast', which they are convinced lurks on top of the mountain on the island. Slowly, the group begins to grow apart. If you thought they had problems in the beginning, you'll be surprised when you discover what happens at the end of the book.

If anyone has read this book, there are some things I am confused about, such as:
What time period does this story take place in?
Why was their plane bombed in the first place?
Where were they going when their plane crashed?
Why aren't there any girls on the island?

This book was slow in the beginning, but it did get better as I turned the pages. It used a lot of vocabulary that I wasn't familiar with, but I guess that's to be expected of a classic. Overall, this was an okay book.

Rating: :0) :0) :0) 3 out of 5 smileys

Would I recommend it to a friend?: That depends. This book is graphic and violent in some parts, so I wouldn't recommend that, say, a third grader reads it. Also, it isn't the easiest book to read.
