General Comments

William Golding is overall a good writer, but Lord of the Flies was not one of his best writings. William Golding was too descriptive. The book was quite boring actually. I read it to a college class and i could not help but want to fall asleep while reading it. Personally, i hated the book. The ending was terrible.
