It's a good book. Children stuck on an island. After a good start they seperate into different factions and get nasty. The themes are generally coming of age, the darkside of humanity and civilisation V barbarity. The kids think there is a monster on the island as indicated by the books title a Hebrew phrase for the devil - there is evil on the island it's the kids. Quite dark. It supports Thomas Hobbes suggestion that without civilisation mans natural state would be a state of war.

I want to read a sequal where aliens make a cyborg Piggy wake up in the year 2050, and he exacts his wonton revenge.
But that's just the kind of book I'd like....

Wow ttt, I hope you didn't read that off of somewhere because that's hella impresive!
-
Sucks to your assmar! (My favorite part) btw, I agree w/ everyone, it's a great book.
-
Nah I read it in school - I'm an idealist so I really dispute Goldings outlook. Rousseau's conception of the state of nature is more fitting. We would naturally peacefully coexist if it wasn't for 'civilisation'. Civilisation/modernity has created the real posibility/impitus for the evil that Golding/Hobbes presumes. The inheritors sorta makes this point homosapiens kill off the more base but kinder neanderthuls (close enough).

I never liked this book. I thought it was really disturbing, which is strange considering I love horror books & movies - especially gory ones!

P. S. Do your homework & read the book! 😄 You might actually like it & could be missing out if you don't read it.

go to wikipedia and read its plot so you can spend your time on more productive things like mw2 or doodlejump

Yea I agree. It's a very dark protrayal of humankind. I'm always surprised that it has become a 'school book'. Golding was a very dark man... Last year his biographer claimed that Golding had attempted a rape when he was in 1st year uni. Projection!!I never liked this book. I thought it was really disturbing.

No i mean Golding was projecting his darkness on to humanity in general. You can't libel the dead.
-
I only saw the movie (like I do with almost every non-assigned book lol). I don't that one of the kids died, very sick.
