Lord of the Flies

My favorite quote:

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy"

This book provides a microcosm of society and humanity, revealing the darkness within.

I think I liked it better when I was fourteen, which is a good sign. Perhaps I am a little less demented than I was then.

I still really liked it, and I would recommend it to all the demented cynics in the world.

  1. Well, I read this when I was fourteen as well. I don't remember ANYTHING from the book. I just remember that it was disturbing. I'm sure it wasn't horrible, but I think I've blocked it out. It probably upset my psyche or something.
