Welcome to Litsy!

Before I begin with writing a review for the book, I would like to profusely thank @Reyzl for introducing this book to me, and yes, now that I have read this book I agree on that fact that there should be a play for this book.
Now, coming to the actual book review. I thought that this book was outstanding and completely breathtaking. In the past days, I hadn't had much time to read, but last night I read through it and it was amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5!

I picked up this book in an effort to improve my knowledge and it did that . This book kept me at my toes but also disturbed me in many ways. However I do believe it is an accurate yet sad description of what would happen to people in the situation of being stranded on an island . #16 read an authors debut novel

It feels like it‘s been ages since I‘ve read something other than my notes! Haven‘t had much time to read because it‘s the end of the school year and the tests are weighing down on us :( But I‘m glad that I‘m back to reading!

So excited to start this one! Also, thank you @Reyzl as you are the one who recommended this book to me! :)

👌

#currentlisten on the way to Savannah! Read by the author.

This one was just okay.

I expected there to be memorable characters and there are - Simon, Ralph, Piggy, Roger, etc. - I don't think I expected some of the ethereal writing that I encountered. It made me wish I was reading the same author on different content

😆😆😆

More school reading- I haven't read this book since I chugged through it all in one day in high school in order to write my summer essay the day before school started. Reading it through an appreciative adult lens is already so much more enjoyable. Oh- and I have a puppy this time, too :-)

Every time I read this book, I enjoy it a little bit more. While I'm not sure my students got much out of it, I still find myself surprised by the lengths the boys in this book go to in order to survive and assert their dominance over the others.

I‘ve always intended to read this. It was thought provoking.

“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.”

What happens when a group of young boys find themselves alone and stranded on a deserted island? How do they organise themselves without any adults? Can the innocence of childhood turn into pure violence?

A highly recommended read for any age and a dream of mine to do a theatre adaptation at school. What do you say @Sharv_Sona @Lovelylottereader and @AnnaSummer7 ?

I must say this book kept shocking me, as it went on. Whether it contains the true nature of humankind or not, it makes a great story. It is interesting how different the characters respond to fear and uncertainty, which is something very real. Knowing that Golding had difficulties with his role in the war that just ended, lets us understand the plot better.
Nevertheless, even without all that, it's still a nice story. Would recommend!

#FallTreasures Where to build the #Bonfire, and how to keep it going, are just a few of the things that Jack, Ralph, Piggy, and the other boys argue about.

The pig slaughter and the rawness of human emotions in this classic book haunted me. The existence of violence and assertion of power in some of the characters young heads bothered me. I had to pause reading several times, very vivid writing.

Today‘s #LittensDressedinBlood prompt:

“Come little children”

This book I had to read in school came to mind. Horrible horrible children.

I loathe this book
It remains required reading 😂😫🙄🤫😜
It‘s that time of year 😩😩

If you like this book so sorry 😅

I'm really into Schitt's Creek right now 😂

I like the book a lot. Very interesting to read. The book made me think a lot after I read the book and still now. I would recommend reading this book to people who asks me.

#SpringSentiments Day 13 @Eggs

One of my favorite books has an #Officious character, Jack.

Why would they make kids read this in school? I‘ve been trying to read this book since early March. 100 pages in and I can‘t be asked to invest any more time to find out what these little pissants end up doing to Piggy. Bitch, bye. I‘m bailing.

Scores from my building‘s book exchange from a while back.

😰 Oh my...

#2021Book14
This is my third time reading and teaching this book, and I enjoy it a little more every time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Never read it in high school, so it‘s been on my list forever. Glad I finally read it, but just not my cup of tea. #read2021

I can see why it‘s a classic. Great at teaching about human nature and the need for social structure.

I‘m finally reading this. I can‘t believe I‘ve never read it. Trying to really tackle my TBR this year

I did Lord of the Flies for my 4th listed for book spin. Decent book. Read it to say I did but I also read it for my 52 books in 52 weeks. This would be the fourth book I read this year. This was prompt number 4 an author that is deceased #doublespin

I found it quite difficult to work out which of the characters was talking sometimes, so it was a little frustrating to read. However, the character of Piggy made up for any disappointments...what a cutie!

Sad at the end when it hits home that the islanders are just lost, scared and homesick kids. But some do commit murder!

Not the best book I've read but a nice short descriptive read.

A group of boys crash land on an island.

Listening at 2.0 speed to finish a couple more books before the year is out 😂

I am constantly in awe (not positive) at what we assign children to read in school. The book is slow to start, the kids are weird. Why they are so fascinated by making rules and cleaning them selves up... What a different time this was. Then throw in the violence. What an interesting ride.
I do find it annoying, the author writes he couldn't write the story with girls because....

Having coffee and a sunrise as I start this classic.

Another bargain my son found in a charity shop, he‘s getting good at this 😃
Can you believe I‘ve never read this book? I think it‘ll be the next in line

I‘ve always been an avid reader, but I always hated the books we were made to read in school. I was ahead in my reading level, so I always felt like the books were too easy, too boring, or sometimes I‘d already read them. Lord of the Flies hooked me from the beginning. The teacher lead open, in-depth discussions and the other students actually participated for once. I love this book so, SO much, it‘s one of the few I will reread.

I was helping my kid with his homework. He was studying Lord of the Flies and the Canadian government. I said, “I really liked that book. I didn‘t know you were reading it.” To which he replied, “Oh, we aren‘t reading it. We watched the movie.” The. Movie. I‘m now building him some stacks from my shelves, for reading at home. Because... the movie... really?

The finished soup: “Lord of the Fries” Seasoned Pan-Fried Gnocchi in Creamy Garlic Broth. I couldn‘t find my copy of Lord of the Flies, the book the brewpub garlic fries seasoning blend is named after, but the soup more than makes up for that—it was so good I practically licked the bowl. 😋This is the 2nd recipie that I developed for #BlendsBash2020 a blogging event for.@BookClubCookbook & their pun-named book, song & TV blends.

My 15 year old daughter said she wished this was on her school reading list for this year. So, Merry Christmas!

A disturbing story about a group of boys stranded on an island. After reading the first half of The Lucifer Effect (tagged in comments) the most startling thing about these feral boys is how close Golding‘s novel gets to reality. #bannedbooksweek

Too cute not to share. My kids decided to 'read' books in bed this morning.

Whoops, forgot to post this yesterday. All great books. 👍🏽

#3books Banned books I‘ve read

I read this book in high school and I loved it just as much second time around.
