An old classic and after reading it you'll know why. Imagine a classroom full of primary school boys with no teacher for 15 minutes. Chaos? Yes, there would be chairs kicked over and nobody could get control. Now you have to imagine all those boys by themselves with no adults for a bit more than a week and not in a classroom but a deserted island. That's basically the setting for the Lord of the Flies.A well written book about how power can corrupt anybody and how people will fight for it. Even in the present it's still a great book even though it's a bit offensive to all Non-Brits, it's definitely worth reading.
A must read for all teenagers and adults. 3 1/2 stars. (there are heaps of covers so don't just look for this one)
