Hey guys! Today I'm going to write a review on a book that I just finished--Lord of the Flies by William Golding.


This book is about a group of young English boys who get stranded on an island during World War II. Ralph, one of the main characters, becomes the leader of this group of boys as he competes with Jack, a mean "bully" who also wants to be the leader so he can boss people around. And all alone on the side, with nobody ever listening to him, is little old Piggy, a plump, lazy, but smart boy who proves to be the wisest of them all. Oh, but, please don't call him Piggy, because he doesn't like that name! Anyway, Lord of the Flies is a story of teamwork, survival, and betrayal, but be careful, it does contain a good amount of violence and bloodshed. One key question that the book discusses is Are humans really savages? What do you think? Are we, deep down, savages, just like the cavemen from millions of years ago or the wild animals living in the Sahara? Let me know after you read the book!

Yours Truly,

Eva :)
