Golding, Wiliam : Lord of the Flies
- description
- additional information
35 years after having to read this book for an English class in High School I figured I'd give it another try. I remember not liking it then and I only liked it slightly more this time. Sure there's some crisp writing (there's also surprisingly some awkward writing like how many times Golding uses the word "presently") and the tension around the shifting loyalty of the group from Ralph as chief to Jack as warlord is interesting, still I just don't see why this book is in the pantheon of English literature. But then again I felt that way about "On The Road". And I know everyone's immediate answer was that it was shocking or revealing for its time but think great art needs to stand the test of time and not just shine in its moment.
