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.
