Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Fliesby William Golding, 240 pages

"William Golding's unforgettable classic of boyhood adventure and the savagery of humanity comes to Penguin Classics in a stunning Graphic Deluxe Edition with a new foreword by Lois Lowry. As provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, Lord of the Flies continues to ignite passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary boys marooned on a coral island has been labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, and even a vision of the apocalypse. But above all, it has earned its place as one of the indisputable classics of the twentieth century for readers of any age."  Creepy but thought provoking.  I'm not sure that I can say that I liked the book but I'm not sorry that I finally read it.  I probably wouldn't reread it but I would recommend it to people looking to read the classics.
