Não sei o que dizer... Estes últimos 4 capítulos abalaram-me. Não dou maior pontuação porque a escrita, as descrições da ilha e terreno, mais o facto de no início ter de me estar a lembrar que são crianças, causou impasses na minha leitura.
Quando a parte psicológica do livro entrou em vigor, aí sim fez magia e faz-nos empatizar com o nervosismo das personagens.
Serem crianças entre os 6 e os 12 tinha os seus pontos positivos e negativos. Uns conseguiram navegar a situação quase como umas férias e um pesadelo muito mau graças à sua inocência. Outros trouxeram ao de cima as piores ou melhores características das suas personalidades e demonstraram a fragilidade inerente do ser humano à corrupção, o ignorar da moralidade e governar-se pelas leis básicas do instinto e do poder nas mãos dos mais fortes.
É um livro que quase podia estar a relatar um caso de estudo social real, mas que, infelizmente, seria nada mais que uma tragédia para todos os envolvidos.

If you're wondering about any specifics, during one of the campfire scenes, there is a boy who rapes the dead pig on a spit. It's still debated if it actually happened, but majority of theories say yes. Lots of power dynamics really heavily learning into mob mentality and manipulation. The physical abuse are performed by the boys onto other boys. It never brinks onto anything sexual, though those topics do come up during analysis of the book.gabrielleclarke05's review against another edition
