Lord of the Flies5

A detailed Summary of Lord of the Flies5

This was the most interesting book I have ever read. It is sort of a cross

between Alive and Hatchet. Because the book is extremely addictive and

written so superbly, it did not take long for me to get into and finish it.

The characters were probably the most interesting element in Lord of the

Flies. All British and male, the young boys in this story portray the

savagery and sadistic nature to which all but a few succumb. The other boys

are the only symbol of sanity on the island. There is also a very

interesting conflict between Ralph and Jack. In essence, this is the eternal

struggle between good and evil. The ending of the novel concludes in a

gut-wrenching showdown between the two.

The only thing I disliked about this book is that sometimes Golding's

writing style was a little hard to follow. The main problem was that the

boy's British accents made it difficult to understand what they meant. This

problem appeared in few spots, however, and for the most part the book was

I think that males would enjoy this book mainly because of the fact that all

the characters were boys. It also appeals to a person with good literary

the hunters by Ralph. He and his hunters become sadistic and detached from

fire, Piggy's glasses. The next day Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric journey to

bleak because it deals so profoundly with the dark side of humanity.

Being an enthusiastic and long time book reader, I think Lord of the Flies

desires of human nature, and how devastating these factors can be to a

this story offers a meaning deeper than just a young, bashful boy.
