Good Points

The book is diverse and in some cases new. It's very descriptive and catches the readers attention.

Bad Points

The book might not make sense if is read literal.

General Comments

Lord of the flies is not a book like others, its a book with a hidden message. This book shows the evil of mankind and the fear which we provoke to our self. Yes the book is about some kids stuck on a island but some line clearly show the evil of man like the quote from piggy " their is no monster unless.....we fear people"
