Book Reviews of Lord of the Flies
Book Review: Kristen's Review on Lord of the Flies
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is an important book of what happens in a society when there are no rules or any guide lines to follow. Ever since the boys were placed on the island they were destined to fail at creating their own perfect environment. The setting they are in starts out as a good fun environment to them but by all of the boys hunger for power it turns them against eachother and turns this so called "good" island, into a "bad" island.
Jack is a representation of evil by how he thirsts for blood and meat as a opposed to being rescued. He would let the fire go out which is their only chance for survival just to cut open a pig. Ralph represents good by trying to create order, shelter and a way to be rescued. Jacks group takes over the island creating the human motivation for evil and hunting. Ralph being the only one left his motivation is forced into surviving as opposed to creating order. The whole island turns to chaos when just one person takes control. This person represents the devil figure and he takes down everyone on the whole island except for Ralph. This book shows how important rules and order are in a society today. It also shows how human motivation can completely take over the whole human body and let barbaric things happen that would not happen in a normal oderly society today.

(Marooned)- Lord Of The Flies
I some what liked this book it was really for people who like blood and gore kind of stuff.
What I didn't like about this book was that it carried on conversaions that really didn't even make any sence at all to this book.
If anyone was to read this book Lord Of The Flies I would basically suggest this book only to people who love to picture blood every where. I would describe the plot basically as all about blood nothing much too it just a couple of boys marooned on an island and nothing to do but kill other things, well i won't tell the whole story cause that would just give the book away. Lord Of The Flies is not based on an true story obviously. If there was any other books to come out like Lord Of The Flies I probabaly wouldn't read it just considering it wasn't my type of book to read. I read more of comedy, and ect.
When your reading thiis book you can basically look at it as a movie it runs through your head and you can have a clear picture about all of the details and blood.
Consider reading the back cover of the book and notice that the author William Sir Golding is writng this book based on the 20th century european fiction.

I purchased the book on cds for my daughter's 8th grade class. They truly enjoyed having this book on cds so they can follow the reading in class. It was clear and the narrator was great.
Book Review: Lord of the Flies Audio
Summary: 1 Stars
I have taught Lord of the Flies to my English classes for years. The kids love it. I read almost all of the book aloud, and my voice gets tired after reading period after period. I was so excited when I found the audio...until my class and I listened to it. The author reads the novel in a horridly monontone voice. It's sad that someone who writes so well, reads so badly.
