Lord of the Flies. The amount of savagery in this book is perfect. The reason why he made it that way is because it wouldn’t be unique. If it was G rated then it wouldn’t have the same impact it if it was that way. It would be boring if it was G rated. Also kids these days can’t handle the intensity of this book. That’s why some schools have banned other great books like Call of the Wild or White Fang. Note to kids ( most not all) Guys stop being snowflakes, schools ban Dr. Seuss’s books... and that is how crazy our world is becoming. I bet by the time I’m 80 they will ban stuff like Barney the dinosaur because it’s “ inappropriate and scary “ Yeah, a talking Dinosaur is scary. Anyway, if you completed this book then GOOD JOB.

Unbelievable. The first half of the book was subtle, without a lot of dialogue. Then around chapter eight or nine stuff gets real and you FEEL the emotions of the characters. Amazing book.

Best to read on spare time. 10/10 IGN BOOKS

Nice. Not so much of an ending though

Great Book. If you rated this low, it is because you don’t understand the meaning of the book. It is about the fragility of society and civilization dissolving. It represents a juxtaposition between orderly democracy and chaotic dictatorship. If you found it boring, you are exactly like Jack and his savages, bored with life. This book is meant to make you feel bad, so you can question how you live.

Lord of the Flies. A horrible book. It does not even deserve the one star. This book was the biggest waste of time.

lof. great read

One of a Kind. We read this in high school English back in the 70s. It’s a unique classic that if you read it, you’ll never forget it.

Babaj. Great book

LOTF. This book is so boring I almost fell asleep.

Boring. I hate this book! When I read it I knew it was boring and I need to read his book and do an ICE about it! In my opinion boring and confusing! There is some interesting parts!

LOTF. My favorite book ever since I was 11 years old. I was a very advanced reader and my dad told me to read it for a project. The description was brilliant, the characters felt so real, and the emotion and sense of reality were beyond compare any other book. The ending will make you sweat, then cry. The symbolism is exceptional. This is a novel that you will never forget.

Disturbing. This book is disturbing as in the sense of not for children. The terror and fear this book brought me is indescribable. I was unable to sleep at night. For those who are adults this book is full of twists and shows how corrupt the world is becoming. This book represents how the evil malice in this world are constantly increasing.

Lord of The Flies. This book is truly amazing! A work of art! Since I saw the cover I knew that this book was going to be worth the read. The details and metaphors that Golding uses are truly astonishing. This is a must have read.

Great. Somewhat slow at first, but it picks up very quickly. A great read.

Great book.. Some times hard to read a t times especially in the chapter gift for the darkness where all that stuff happens to Simon. Not appropriate for a 12 year old child but great for anyone else. Awesome and I would recommend it.

Lord of the flies. This was the dumbest and stupidities book I've ever read not only was it so boring I thought of burning it half way through.

Lord of the Flies. I hate it because it was boring. It was not entertaining this made me not want to fly on planes with random people and it doesn't make sense and it doesn't flow together. And the star means -100000

An incredible book. An amazing piece of literature with the power to change people. It shows what people would do if faced with bad circumstances. It is vivid with detail and has an incredible story. A Powerful Book with a more powerful meaning.

lord of flies. I enjoyed this book very much but the ending was shocking and disappointing to me. I feel there could have been a more exciting way to end the book. I was definitely shocked by the ending but it was not at all how i wanted the book to end. Other than the ending i loved he thrill and message of the story.

#amazing. This was the best book ever written ever in the history of ever.

Great. It was a great read highly recommended

STUPID.. I hate this book. I was bored reading this. The chapters are too long, they said a swear word, none of the characters are telling the story, and I didn’t even understand the words I last read. What does this mean!? This book is terrible. Who would want a big fatty as the main character!? I didn’t even want to read lord of the flies. This the most retarded and dumbest book ever. I didn’t even want to read it. So boring👎 BOO. My dad forced me to read lord of the flies!!! if I would build a time machine, I would travel back to the year 1959 and tell the author to not make this crap. Never again. I would prefer something else like: hatchet.

Amazing book!. Golding practically predicted the future with this novel. There is a thin line between civility and savagery.

so gud. !

Slow read, but worth it in the end. Just finished reading the paperback. I think this book does a good job of exploring what happens when people in leadership don’t meet the needs of their people. I also think it does a good job juxtaposing savagery. The first character we’re introduced to, Ralph, helps to create order, but finds himself in utter chaos. His adversary (you’ll know who it is after reading it), and his newly formed tribe are violent and chaotic, but surprisingly organized. After witnessing his evolution, I found myself wondering who the real savage is in the end. Is it Ralph? Or his counterpart and the tribe he forms? It does take a minute for the getting to get good so patience is key. I would be lying were I to say I didn’t find myself bored at times while reading. 🤔 I think uncovering the ideas in this book is more interesting than the story itself. But still, it’s worth a read.

Outstanding book. This is by far my favorite book ever. Everything and everyone is a symbol. The plot is great and unpredictable. Definitely worth the time.

lord of the flies. this book is the best book i have ever read i have only read 5 book cover to cover but this one is the best

Symbolism to its Finest. This book is truly amazing. The whole book in how it symbolizes society and how each individual character represent and plays a different role. For instance Piggy represents what society should be. I've only read the first three chapters and have already been emerged in the books amazing symbolism. You can read it two ways one of or the plot or two for the amazing symbolism and great lesson to the story. For the people that read it and say its boring. Well sorry for your lack of understanding of this books true amazingness".

Awful. Piggy dies then simon dies they get rescued the end

Terrabad. Boring

Amazing book. There should be a sequel

**SPOILERS**. My thoughts on the ending. The book "The Lord of the Flies" ends with the boys being rescued by a navy officer amongst their fighting. Personally, I did not like the ending of the book "The Lord of the Flies". I did not like the ending because it ending very suddenly, and the author does not tell you anything further than the officer telling them he will take them home. I like my books to have a closed ending that will leave me with no further questions. The ending was very well written, as was the whole book, but it still left me with questions. In the end of "The Lord of the Flies", there is a superb example of irony. When Jack is chasing Ralph around the island, trying to kill him, Ralph keeps hiding, so Jack lights fire to the bushes. This fire spread to until the whole island is on fire which causes the naval officer to come and rescue them. This is ironic because the whole book Ralph always said that the most important thing is keeping their signal fire going for rescue. This part of the ending, I enjoyed.

A great book!. This book is a great book to read! It feels like I have been taken on a jouney! I felt like I had a great exprerence in reading this book!

Perfect. I loved the fact that this book greatly shows how an improper government could lead to the revelation of the animal instincts inside us. While it was dark and brutal, I love the different messages that each character represented, and that it would be a great teaching lesson for any major event that could mirror what would happen. Everyone should read it, not because it’s a classic, but because there’s a lesson to be learned throughout every chapter, and it all starts in Chapter 1.

Lord of the Flies. I had to read this for high school and didn't like it. Now keep mind it was written a LONG time ago so the language is much different than we use now. But the author made it very hard to know what's going on and had few descriptive words. I wouldn't suggest reading it on your spare time.

Pretty good. I really liked some of this book... Although some of it was a bit dull and lost me. Overall it is very well written and I am glad I read it

Amazing. Just started reading and it is already one of my favorite books. You'll love this!

It wasn’t bad. The book wasn’t terrible! Butt it took me a minute to get into it. Saying this, once you do, you’ll never be able to put it down.

The Lord Lives. Lord of the Flies by William Golding expresses and embodies the primitive, animal-like traits that every human being naturally lives with. He creates the picture of how quickly people can revert back to uncivilized lifestyles when their surroundings change. It takes place during WWII, and some of the boys' fathers serve in the Royal Navy. The boys attend a private, all-boys school in England. Their plane crashes on a secluded island, and the boys must fend for themselves. It is the epitome of "boys being boys." I personally enjoy and understand the deeper meaning of this book, despite the mixed reviews it garners from critics. Readers should beware of the gory and savage lifestyles the boys embrace because of their unforgiving environment. I would recommend this book to any guy over the age of 12. The plot centers around how people revert to uncivilized manners when they lose human interaction. It portrays the inner animal in everyone. To people who understand the book, it is not only a fascinating realization about life, but also a psychologist's dream. I found it interesting and entertaining, though somewhat slow to the action. SPOILER ALERT: the "action" is killing! Nature eliminates the only difference between humans and less intelligent animals: the ability to reason. Once the boys lose the ability to reason, it becomes a free-for-all, and they develop a savage desire to kill.

EXCELLENT BOOK ON DICTATORSHIP. It details how a complete dictaorship is a catastrophe, which leads to death and destruction to all those, who disagree or nonconform.

Overrated.. I never had the occasion to read this in school, but I recall many of my classmates being somewhat fond of it. Years later, I decided to read it wondering what I had missed. I realized as I was midway through the final chapter that I had missed nothing. This book is highly overrated.

Very good. The books plot was very unique but I feel like it could have been better

Lord of the Flies. I had to read this in school this past year and I loved it. And I personally hate reading

Not what i was expecting…. so going into this book i was thinking it would be kinda like a book about some boys surviving on an island— doing stuff like building shelters, finding food, etc.— but i was wrong. this book has survival concepts like finding food, but it is really more survival of the fittest, and it shows how evil a human can be, not just an adult, but little kids too. and i found it very disturbing and definitely not a book i would like to reread.

Violent much?..... Loved the book and how it showed the darkest aspects of human cruelty in desperate times, but hated the violence in the book (especially the part about *spoiler* Piggy’s doom). Piggy’s part REEEEAAAALLY creeped me out.....

Stunning!!!!!!!. This writing was brutal but emotional to me. Death and sadness, with fear and brother y love!

English II Class Assignment. I had to reread this book for my english class this year after previously reading some years before, and was mostly bored. This book is a very good book club book and discussion book, however the plot is very slow moving and drag on for chapters. In the books defense though, Lord of the Flies does portray the loss of innocence and the malevolent nature of humankind very well.

Don’t listen to the other comments I definitely recommend. Others are like “reading it for school” and”so boring” but it’s not. Yeah it’s a little cruel and I’m 12 so it should be maybe like 10+ any older than that you’re fine. It’s just so good easy 5 stars. The only thing I don’t like is it’s only 200 pages it should be longer than that.

Ok. It's an ok book with a good plot and story line. You do however need a good attention span to stay interested in this book
