Lord of the Flies

"VERY good"

"I read it in junior high or high school, and I just don't think it's for me. I don't love how it's only about boys, and the events in the book are just sad. not my fav at all"

"This book gave me the creeps. The characters, the plot, the plot twists, the deaths, the symbolism, everything had me shaking and anticipating for what comes next."

"My father made me read this as a teenager. One of my fave books of all time. "

"What a fascinating book, Lord of the Flies really shows the slow progression of insanity well. It’s a perfect book for English teachers, after all, they love to dote on symbols and Lord of the Flies has them strewn all over the place. After reading a book like this I have to wonder how well of a portrayal this is of the darkness of mankind. How realistic is it? 22/30 "

"Love this book, it took some turns that I would have expected!"

"maybe this was good in 1954 "

"Oh my Lord, what was going through my head when I decided to read this book?🫠. I will admit that the message was a literary masterpiece; clearly conveyed about how fast humans(particularly children) descend into madness when given any sort of authoritative power and are left to their own devices. However, reading this book is what you’d imagine a fever dream to be like. I felt like most of what I read was word salad that, in order to make sense of it, would need to get broken down word-by-word🫥. At that point, it would take an eternity to read. To the author, with my sincerest of respect(because writing books can be a long and grueling process), are they okay? Actually no, were they okay? ‘Were’ Because the author of this book is most likely dead💀 I’m sorry, I’m not sure if I can recommend this book…For the experience, maybe..?"

"One of my favorite classics #classics "
