This book was great!
This is an incredibly engaging book which is told through alternating perspectives and through an achronological timeline. It is a mystery that keeps you guessing, with each new perspective adding a new layer of information and building the suspense.
It is difficult to say exactly what was so good about this book without spoiling it, however, Golding did a fantastic job of writing such an interesting story with so many layers. A young girl, found wandering the shore alone, a man found, barely alive, dysfunctional families, and an incredibly well woven story.
I haven't read Golding's other book yet, but this has absolutely convinced me that I should. If you're looking for a mystery to solve along with the characters, a book that you just want to keep reading, then this is it.
