Book 10: Lord of the Flies
10 LORD OF THE FLIES William Golding (England, 1954)
Following a plane crash, a group of young boys find themselves on a desert island without any adults.
I'm glad I finally got around to reading this classic. Lord of the Flies is a solid commentary on human instincts, violence, and leadership. While it can be a little tedious to read an entire novel written the way children speak, Golding's story is powerful precisely because it deals wit children.
3/5
