Title: Lord of the Flies
Review: I have recently went through the extremely torturous chore of reading this novel in my eleventh grade English class. I hated this book so much that I went up to my teacher and told her exactly what I thought of this abysmal piece of work. Guess who wasn't too happy. I've heard so many great things about this book, so I just couldn't wait to start it. "Yeah, Lord of the Flies, great!" From the first page, I hated it. This book is so hard to follow. I read a page. Then I think to myself "What the heck was that?" I read the page again and only got a vague impression of what was going on and struggling to figure out what William Golding was trying to get across to the reader. Sure its possible to figure it out, but how can you really enjoy a novel if you have to strain your brain to be able to get the badly told story into your mind and keep it there. I disliked this book so much that I removed the cover and glued it on upside down before I gave it back to my teacher.
Is the review positive or negative?
