2.5 stars.
Not too bad of a plot, just a little biased from the author as he was a war veteran. And also, he only used boys from ages 6 to 12 I think... so a bit of a stupid conclusion to base your beliefs off a small group of middle and upper class boys and not a more diverse group... just my thoughts.
The only character I did partially like was Piggy (the only lower class boy in the group), and even then, I didn't like him that much as he was kind of a wimp.
Had to read this for GCSE but only just put it on my read list on this app a couple of years later.
