That book slightly confuses me.
It's very interesting though ><;;

I really have no point to this forum, just posted out of slight thought due to the fact that I'm reading it right now.

Anyone else read it? : O

I've read the beginning and ending when in school then watched the movie to fill in what I didn't read. It was kind of chilling the kind of society that formed over time with the children.

I never had to read it for school, instead we read "A Brave New World". But I did hear about LotF and how demented it was.

Lord of the flies is a very good book
and if I'm not mistaken it's about the inate evil in human beings.
The loss of innocence, Each person has a role to play in the society, and main character also represents something
I like it
it was pretty good, and I also like The Great Gatsby
and The Catcher in the Rye.

I had to read Lord of the Flies last year
I actually liked the book, it was interesting, then we watched the movie which was ok but I preferred the book

I read some of it and watched some of the movie. I had to do so for school. It is pretty messed up. I should probably read the whole book sometime. I'll understand it better if I did.

I had to read that last year.. It would have been a good book to read, just for the sake of reading it, but being forced to, and having to have at least 1 annotation for each page was horrible.. and they had to have deeper level thinking in the annotations.. gaaah..

But beyond that, it was actually quite interesting.. a great book to depict the animalistic instincts, the darkness within mankind, and the loss of innocence..

That's one of the few books that I had to read in school that I actually fell in love with.

Yeah, read it in school, and actually was really moved by it.

And I didn't know there's a movie. >.>

I read the book and watched the movie for school and it was really good, even though my class mates didn't like it. =P

I'm forced to read it for my honors english class, at first I didn't like it, but I'm on chapter seven now, and so far Simon is my favorite since he seems to be the only truly sane one left

I read it the book a while back, and personally, I detested it. Out of all of the English and Honors English classes I have taken, Lord of the Flies is by far my least favorite book. It was interesting all right, but not in a good way for me.

I read it last year for English class, and wrote about 5 essays on it. :(
It was a good read though, I cried in some parts.

Ohdearlord.
THAT book...
Read it last year.
I continue to hate it with a passion.
But the movie was funny. I laughed at its stupidity. *shrug*

These are a few stories that have reduced the firey passion of hate just a teeny tiny bit. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1026188/...d_of_the_Flies

I like the first one best. xP

Jeez.
That book was terrible.
Not because it was boring to read but because of just how horrible it all plays out.
Poor everyone ]:

Good book. I only remember the big things that happened.
But I don't regret reading it.

If you're confused, believe me... what every happens in the next chapter will make you forget your confusion o.o
And just stare in disbelief.

I read that last year, actaully.

A very mind-screwy book, but I like it. Very sad, though.

Wow, this book brings back memories from high school.

When I first began to read this book I HATED it, back while I was still sitting at my desk throwing spitballs at the guy in front of me. As I kept reading it though I found a new love for the book, and I ended up adoring it. I love the symbolism of the "Lord of the Flies", the essense of the creature Beelzebub that was placed within. I also find the human mind fascinating, so being able to watch a group of civilized people go mad due to a situation they had no control in is rather amazing.

It's been quite a while. Wow. xD

I think I remember reading that book when I was a freshman. All I remember is that my favorite character died though. But, I remember I enjoyed it as well. :)

That was the only book I had to read in school that I really liked. I hated Crime and Punishment (it was a crime that book was ever published and it is a punishment to read it.) The Lord of the Flies was good, but not my favorite. It's missing something, but I can't remember what it was missing. oh well....

We were supposed to read it in 10th grade, but my teacher hated the book so she tossed it over her shoulder and said, "We'll read this instead!" (it was of Mice and Men I believe). Anyways, I ended up reading it by myself a year later thanks to another English class assignment. It was a bit confusing at first, but once you know the general idea of what's going on, it's not that bad anymore. And while all my friends said how horrible the book was, I actually rather enjoyed it. I keep meaning to read it again, but I always get distracted by other things.

lord of the flies is very much a good book. if you haven't read it, you really should. it's very nearly part of literary history, i would say. i never read it for school though.

catcher in the rye. ahh, :]
very good book.

I read it in school too, didn't really like it.
We didn't watch the movie though.

Yeah, I read it in 10th grade as well and it was good... Very depressing though and I hated Jack. My teacher was really into the symbolism-but that aspect of the book was cool too.

I had to read lord of the flies for a home school book group thing I did last year and I HATED it. So weird and creepy and not interesting. I had to listen to the last half as book on tape to finish it in time. I cannot understand how anyone would like it but I'm going to stay open-minded. Explain to me why someone would like such a book?

i had to read that book twice! i failed my english class and had to take it again and read it again! no offence to the author, he was a great writer! but i cant stand that book! its funny i was talking about this book last night with a friend and he said it was one of his favorites! that it reminded him of his days in boyscouts... that just scared. lol
