5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book for anyone from "littluns" to "bigguns"...,
By A Customer
This review is from: MAXnotes for William Golding's Lord of the Flies (MAXnotes) (Paperback)
My English class has just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and the way Golding uses symbolism is amazing! EVERYTHING in this book is a symbol! Golding can see right into mans' evil and destructive nature. He shows us how destructive we can be by setting forests on fire, pushing boulders off cliffs, and childrens' games of throwing sand and rocks at each other. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and definitly recommend it for anyone. Read it! Golding's perspective of us humans is very thought-provoking. By the way...this book does not take place during WW2. Have you ever heard of an ejectable passenger tube on an airplane? No. He wrote it to be some time in the future--anytime actually. But time is not important. If it were a specific time it may not apply to us now in the present, but it does. It can apply to anyone, and that's how he wanted it to be.

It was amazing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: MAXnotes for William Golding's Lord of the Flies (MAXnotes) (Paperback)
If William Golding was alive today and I had the opportunity of meeting him, I would congratulate him on his amazing novel. The use of symbolism was so extremely explicit and perfectly written, it really made me think about society and where we would be without it. It was a novel which I have read over and over again and I will certainly never forget it as it showed me the origins of mankind and taught me to never, ever take anything for granted. Read and enjoy!

Fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: MAXnotes for William Golding's Lord of the Flies (MAXnotes) (Paperback)
I thought this book was some of the best work of this century, and as the new century rolls in, I believe that it will stay this way. As a fundimental, as well as critical reader, I thought it was great, and would gladly recomened it to anyone, regardless of age. One normally hears that it is horrid, but that would be the last word to decsribe it. I found myself not able to put the book down, and found it utterly magical.
