Product Description
William Golding's classic novel of primitive savagery and survival is one of the most vividly realized and riveting works in modern fiction. The tale begins after a plane wreck deposits a group of English school boys, aged six to twelve on an isolated tropical island. Their struggle to survive and impose order quickly evolves from a battle against nature into a battle against their own primitive instincts. Golding's portrayal of the collapse of social order into chaos draws the fine line between innocence and savagery.

• Lord Of The Flies 22 May, 2008
(Marooned)- Lord Of The Flies
I some what liked this book it was really for people who like blood and gore kind of stuff.
What I didn't like about this book was that it carried on conversaions that really didn't even make any sence at all to this book.
If anyone was to read this book Lord Of The Flies I would basically suggest this book only to people who love to picture blood every where. I would describe the plot basically as all about blood nothing much too it just a couple of boys marooned on an island and nothing to do but kill other things, well i won't tell the whole story cause that would just give the book away. Lord Of The Flies is not based on an true story obviously. If there was any other books to come out like Lord Of The Flies I probabaly wouldn't read it just considering it wasn't my type of book to read. I read more of comedy, and ect.
When your reading thiis book you can basically look at it as a movie it runs through your head and you can have a clear picture about all of the details and blood.
Consider reading the back cover of the book and notice that the author William Sir Golding is writng this book based on the 20th century european fiction.

• Great Book, But The Author's Reading Is Terrible 13 August, 2008
I love this book, but I wasn't halfway through the introduction when I realized how painful it would be to have the author read it to me. He sighs and breathes heavy in the middle of sentences, speaks in a monotone voice, and makes all the characters sound the same, which makes it hard to tell who is saying what during the book's argument scenes.
Overall, great story that deserved a professional voice actor to read it - somebody who could have made the story come alive. Any nuance the author could have added through his own insight into the story was lost in the lackluster presentation.

• A Must Read 05 November, 2008
Lord of The Fies is a must read story that i would reccomend to anyone. It makes you think about our culture, society, and government. It gives a great insight into the inner savegrey of man. I like books that make you think. Golding's use of imagery and symbolism help make this book one you can't put down.

• Good Recording. 02 May, 2008
This book was read by the author which normally can be a concern. However he was an excellent reader and all in all a good listen. It was nice then to hear the author's comments before and after in the same voice.

• Golding Reading 09 October, 2008
Way cool! I am going to start teaching Lord of the Flies right after fall break. I have been previewing this audio version on may long drive to and from work (about 30 minutes each way.) I was so impressed with Golding reading his own book! I must say I cried at the end when Ralph breaks down---Golding made this book come to life! I also like Golding's commentary at the end regarding the meaning of the book. I would tell you, but you need to hear it for yourself!
