Lord of the Flies by William GoldingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars I was not a huge fan of this book. The author is the narrator which is fun. The book is simplistic and written for children. It is that strangely British convention of using other people tragedy to tell a metaphor which I find distasteful and disrespectful. Another book read in school that should not be–it is violent, has deep homoerotic longings that are weirdly disturbing (British men of a certain period just cannot get enough young naked boys–shudder). Heavy handed, simplistic, and just weird. View all my reviews |
