Who Might Enjoy the Book
|
The Lord of the Flies would be an excellent book for those who enjoy reading about adventure, the morals of the human race, and the quick return to the primitiveness. Golding excellently portrayed this fall of civilization and how quickly it can happen. Unlike any other book I have read, The Lord of the Flies provides a perfect description of how quickly and how frightening the fall to primitiveness is and how even young children can be influenced by it. It is an excellent book and I would definitely read it again. I originally selected the book because I enjoy observing how fragile our modern societal ways are and how quickly we can fall to a dystopia and absolute chaos. Unlike the novel 1984, by George Orwell, Golding's The Lord of the Flies shows the approach to a dystopia rather than life in a dystopia.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10 |
