Genuinely haunting - I couldn’t stop reading and finished the whole thing in one day. Intensely vivid descriptions of the island and the boys’ half-articulated thoughts as their grasp on civilisation breaks down. I will be searching for a deeper analysis of this book to find some sense of peace after reading.
