Title: OKAY idea, but this man was more of a pessimist than >I< am
Review: I was forced to read this book last year, my Freshman year. I was entertained by the PREMISE of the book at first.. but then lost all interest. Let's see here.. a Lord of the Flies Timeline: Day One--Plane crashes, kids gather, etc. They find and are unable to kill the pig. Day THree (aprox) The kids are now half naked, spear-toting, near-savages who cannot agree one anything (JUMP) Day Eighteen--Bloodthirsty, Chanting monsters who kill for pleasure I really think that Golding is a horrible man. We, as humans, DO have a dark side. But for God's sake, it would take MONTHS for the kids to fall THAT far! Years, maybe! (Of course, somethimes people survive just fine...take "Gilligan's Island" as an example. Then again, weren't we all hoping for SOMETHING to happen?) Well.. Stay away. Unless you really DO think that people could degenrate so fast.
Is the review positive or negative?
