Lord of The Flies(Paperback)

A masterpiece from the past.

I've read many reviews saying that this book is "disturbing", "dark" and stuff. Well, it did take me a while to get into the book, at first I could only read a page or two at one go. But slowly as the events progressed I understood the sheer beauty of the story. It's absolutely wonderful. The narration is natural. You could say that the description 'flows'. I think the best thing about this book is now natural and real it feels. It is a must-read book.

This book shocked me. Not so much because of the content, I will come onto that, but because my gentle, kind, mother recommended it to me. My mum who mutes the TV when a swear word is coming up and who can't stand any type of violence recommended a book that involves children killing each other. Perhaps in her case familiarity has rendered the content less offensive--she studied it in high school and it had her childish scrawls all the way through, also entertaining!
