I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would. I’m someone who loves character analysis so this book was great for that. The underlying tones of war and morality add a lot of depth to what seems like a simple story. Not my favorite writing style, and in my opinion Golding did not do a good job at reminding readers how young the boys really were. Despite this it’s a real page turner that constantly leaves you thinking “there’s no way this can get any worse” but spoiler alert it does.

Masterfully written. It’s not hard to see why it’s a classic.
