Lord of Flies

I didn't particularly like this story. I didn't like the way the author wrote about children turning on each other so quickly. I think kids would stick together more often than ganging up on each other and killing each other - maybe it's my upbringing. Their humanity disappated too quickly. It wasn't believable for me.


Kids would probably like it because it is about kids on a deserted island left to fend for themselves. Kids can create their ideas about what they would do differently than the kids in the book. This story would spur a lot of conversation.
