I thought the first 7ish chapters were SO slow keep in mind there were 12 chapters. I thought the characters forming their law and order was lame, and almost wasn't need. That's where we get to why the book has such a low rating from me. The whole first 7 chapters they did nothing but play, build shelter, nominate a chief and get food. The whole book revolves around the "boys get stranding on an island and have to make a society." Then out of nowhere the book takes a huge turn. I liked the last 5 chapters. But if a book takes 7 chapters for me to like it, I really don't think it is that good.
This was one of the first classics I have read. I am super upset because I really did want to like it. Of course, just because I don't like one classic doesn't mean I am not going to like other ones. Maybe that was the problem I wanted so badly to like it, because it was a book people told me I should read, and I would like. It also could have been that fact that I had to read it for school. I am sure that's not why I didn't like the book.
Maybe, when I am older or if I get more interested in the concept of the book, I could see myself giving it another try. For now, though, this is how I feel about Lord of the Flies.
