Reviews
" Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager, I still read it every couple of years." --Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games "As exciting, relevant, and thought-provoking now as it was when Golding published it in 1954." -- Stephen King "The most influential novel...since Salinger's Catcher in the Rye ." --Time "This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return (in a few weeks) to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is." --The New York Times Book Review "Sparely and elegantly written... Lord of the Flies is a grim anti-pastoral in which adults are disguised as children who replicate the worst of their elders' heritage of ignorance, violence, and warfare." --Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books, " Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books.

Evolution of the devil
Lord of the Flies is beautifully written. Some parts of his book are like poetry the way he describes some scenery or some emotion. I enjoyed this book immensely. Leave an island stranded with a bunch of boy growing and on the verge of manhood you can see how man will intend to mean well. But free will and the feel of power and control one can lose sight of the original goal and turn for the worst. You can see how evil men gain power, by fear and promise of better. It was fast paced and book I had trouble putting down. Excellent read if you want to read in to double meanings.
