i have been wanting to read this book for ages and was wondering why i never had to read it in school. i now see why. my teachers wanted to keep from the torture that is lord of the flies.
this was the worst book i have ever read. i was bored to tears and had to force myself to get through it. the last 50 pages were the least painful, but the rest of it- arrgghhhh! i really dont understand why this is a classic.
the story would have been ok- a plane crashes on a deserted island with a group of british school boys who are left to fend for themselves and how to live as a society. thats about all that was interesting.
the descriptions were boring, the dialog was horrible, and at the third grade level, and..oh, did i say it was boring?
if you get the chance, skip it. just because its a classic doesnt mean its good!
