Book Review of Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies
Author: William Golding
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 7


Most certainly NOT a "feel good" story, but still (or perhaps in spite of that fact), Lord of the Flies is one of my all-time favorite books. Golding's characters are so vivid and the storyline is eerie and haunting. It absolutely deserves its title as one of the great classics of all time.
