Initial heady excitement gives way to fear and terror, which drive them to horrible cruelty - Simon the visionary is killed, so is Piggy the pragmatist, and so too would Ralph be were it not for adult intervention from, ironically, a world outside which is tearing iteself to pieces in war. Golding's ear for dialogue and his extraordinary descriptive skill help to make this one of the great novels of the 20th. century - look at the terribly sad but incredibly beautiful ...more

The novel starts off with the description and background information of the main characters and the atmosphere around them. The reader is forced to read the rest of the novel and find the answers to the questions they have after reading the introduction. It is set on a deserted island which is very effective because the characters can not escape and have to stay with those characters they don't like or characters who bully them. The setting is also very important because it raises questions like will the boys survive? Some of the characters are also described with light and colour to show the mood and atmosphere around them. The opening chapter also gives hints on the ...  Read the complete review

This fantastic story was one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading, for it was very appealing, exciting and had an interesting plot. First written by William Golding and published in 1954, he wrote the story with his knowledge of human behaviour in the back of his mind after serving in the war. As well as fighting in the Royal Navy, Golding also participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day. From his experience of war, his feelings inspired him to write this novel. It is very similar to another novel called Coral Island. William Golding thought that the boys would never act in such a civilized and sensible manner, so he wrote a novel that he felt was an accurate ...  Read the complete review

'The flames arrupted with frightening speed, spreading through the tinder dry field faster than any of them could run. The greyish-blue smoke rose high into the sky, covering the sun like a vale of mourning, polluting the clarity of the summer's sky, casting shadows upon them. Adrenaline surged through their veins, and they took flight, away from the flames, away from the danger.' Well alright, this isn't a quote from Lord Of The Flies, William Golding's most wellknown work. The truth is, us girls shouldn't have been smoking at the top of the field. But it wasn't me who flicked their fag butt into a neighbouring field, setting it ...  Read the complete review

Unlike many others who have reviewed this book, I was not forced to study it at school. My sister had trouble studying it for her GCSE examination set text so I agreed to read it and help her with it; and as I remembered enjoying it I thought it?d be worth buying for another read! PLOT SYNOPSIS A plane evacuating a bundle of schoolchildren from the horrors of the Second World War crashes into a desert island: the pilot dies and subsequently the children are left to fend for themselves. The first character we are introduced to is ...  Read the complete review
