thehawksflight's review against another edition
I choose to believe in the essential good of humans, even very young ones, with a tendency toward collaboration and altruism during calamity. William Golding clearly thought otherwise.
The trope(s) have been copied, parodied, interpreted so much over the years that I found the book itself hard to enjoy in its own right.

The story is simple but powerful, the symbolism whacks you over the head, and the growing despair and bewilderment felt through Ralph and his allies is fantastically written. I could have done without the lengthy descriptions of the environment.
