“We read this in Literature circles at school, and although it is hard to get through at times, it is still a great read and deserves the title of a classic. William Golding tells a tale (one of the most fun to write, i know) about some boys stranded on a deserted island. While one of the boys (the appointed leader) is focused on keeping a fire kindling to alert nearby boats, another boy divides the group and emphasizes hunting as a main pastime. The book gets utterly creepy, even in its Old English style of writing (which is hard to follow sometimes... Its a lot to take in at once.) its a beautiful book, and even if this isn't your cup of tea, you should still read it because its a classic. And classic means must.”
