Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Absolutely gripping | Customer Rating: | | I spent years looking for a book that would make me forget everything around me and I finally found this. Golding's story is absolutely gripping and of huge interest as it explores the dark depths of human nature. Here you can see how humanity disintegrates outside formal social bounderies. | Amazing. | Customer Rating: | | I read this book straight through, no stops. And I loved it. It is gripping, and even terrifying in some parts. His use of imagery and symbolism is practically an art, and this book perfectly conveys human nature, and it is vital that society is maintained, otherwise we slip into savagery. I really empathised with Ralph and his struggle to hold onto civilisation. Everything that happens is very real. I would recommend this book to anyone. | It was amazing! | Customer Rating: | | If William Golding was alive today and I had the opportunity of meeting him, I would congratulate him on his amazing novel. The use of symbolism was so extremely explicit and perfectly written, it really made me think about society and where we would be without it. It was a novel which I have read over and over again and I will certainly never forget it as it showed me the origins of mankind and taught me to never, ever take anything for granted. Read and enjoy! | An excellent book for anyone from "littluns" to "bigguns"... | Customer Rating: | | My English class has just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and the way Golding uses symbolism is amazing! EVERYTHING in this book is a symbol! Golding can see right into mans' evil and destructive nature. He shows us how destructive we can be by setting forests on fire, pushing boulders off cliffs, and childrens' games of throwing sand and rocks at each other. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and definitly recommend it for anyone. Read it! Golding's perspective of us humans is very thought-provoking. By the way...this book does not take place during WW2. Have you ever heard of an ejectable passenger tube on an airplane? No. He wrote it to be some time in the future--anytime actually. But time is not important. If it were a specific time it may not apply to us now in the present, but it does. It can apply to anyone, and that's how he wanted it to be. |
