read lord of the flies

I skipped this classic

I finally re read it in the weekend that just went and did my english literature paper this morning.

Pretty good exam as the question asked me to talk about Simon’s importance throughout the novel and that was the last thing I revised before I went in!

i had to read this book in 8th grade and got by on cliff’s notes. this book is talked about in Stephen King’s Hearts in Atlantis so that sparked my interest up again.

I read the first few pages of it in a book store recently and liked it.

I bought the book…3 months ago. Haven’t read it yet.

as a refresher to the book I read in high school.

.. and i must say it’s a pretty good book, even if it’s a bit gruesome in parts.

We read it in class but I found the abundance of description, which my teacher loved, made the book very dull.

Still I must read through it again for my exam

It had good and bad points: it was descriptive and I could picture everything. And it was creative and raised good questions about human nature. However, it was…disturbing.

and I think I can talk to them about the bigger picture the story represents if I read it again.

Hey, I read the book before and I’ve taken psych 10, so I should be good for this.

SparkNotes may help.

It was just so … well boring. I got sick of it so have put it aside for now so that I can re-read Vanity Fair. :)
