Everyone told me this book was weird. I had no idea that the weirdness would start by page 10 and that it would turn downright disturbing by the end. I think that was the point of the book. But that doesn't mean it was my cup of tea. ...more

Lord of the Flies follows a group of children who, due to unforeseen circumstances, are forced to form a warped society where basic civilisation no longer exists. A great book, that everyone should read at least once.
