Lord of the Flies by William Golding
dark
medium-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.0
the story wasn't honestly that bad once i got into it but there are also a lot of problematic things so i can't rate it any higher for that reason.
Graphic: Fatphobia
Moderate: Sexism
• comparing hunting and having painted faces and long hair to savagery; refers to a group of the kids as "savages" countless times (not sure what category it would fall under so i didn't tag it)
• fatphobia: one of the kids is called "piggy" for the whole book because he's fat, and we never learn his real name.
• sexism: every single character in the book is male. one of the characters also mentions not reading a book because it was about two girls.
