This was the most interesting book I have ever read. It is sort of a cross between Alive and Hatchet. Because the book is extremely addictive and written so superbly, it did not take long for me to get into it and finish it.
             The characters are the best part of Lord of the Flies. All British and male, the young boys in the story portray the savagery and sadistic nature to which all but a few succumb.

             is a great book. It is very intriguing and seems to place a terrible spell
             over the reader who gets lured into this rousing adventure. I spent four
             days reading this book and only put it down during meals. Lord of the Flies
