Book Reviews of Lord of the Flies (50th Anniversary Edition)
Book Review: the original "wild boys"....
Summary: 5 Stars
great book, great story
i've seen the movie way too many times to be surprised by anything in the book, but i've always wanted read it
to think the book is far fetched or impossible is stupidity, the book is right on the money, thats what makes it so scary, in todays world, a plane load of schoolboys stranded on a island would do much, much worse to each other for survival and control
Summary of Lord of the Flies (50th Anniversary Edition)
The story that never grows old...Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.
Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse,Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic. And now readers can own it in a beautifully designed hardcover edition worthy of its stature.
This Christmas' meaningful gift, the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Lord of the Flies is the volume that every fan of this classic book will have to own.
