44,587 ratings Customer reviews: 4.4 out of 5 stars Paperback is £6.99

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

    Had to read this at school many years ago. Interested to read it again now (without the teachers coercion).
    Thanks Boz

    Same. Gave me nightmares because I was too young to understand it

    Before we comment do we have to make sure we are holding the conch shell?

    Thank you, Boz. It must be more than 50 years since I last read this book. I wonder what memories it will bring back?

    Thanks OP, had to read this in high school, enjoyed it along with another book title that escapes me now. Looking forward to re-reading this

    Probably either: Macbeth, an inspector calls or a Christmas carol

    Great book from a drunk who was very bitter about life and saw the worse in people. Remember it’s fiction and in reality the opposite happens. Kids trapped will actually and very naturally help each other. Also most if not all the top psychology research in the 60’s was mostly lies via experimenter bias and been debunked by us psychologists. Still though a good book but not reality. Heat.
