(Opinião provisória)
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.
