read lord of the flies

Ive had the book in my room for about three years…
I think its time to finally read the damn thing haha.

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.

I had tried reading this book before to no avail and tried to read it again because I thought I “should” as a future English teacher. The truth is I don’t like it. And I don’t waste my time reading things I don’t like. Reading is supposed to be an enjoyable pasttime and there are too many good books out there that I actually want to read. So I’m shelvin’ this one. Sorry, Mr. Golding.

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.
