Lord of the Flies by William GoldingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read this as a kid because it was assigned in class, and I did not enjoy it. Does anyone really enjoy straightforward allegories? It was both boring and horrifying at the same time. And despite being an allegory, or maybe precisely because it was, it didn’t persuade me of anything philosophically.
Because it is so horrifying (particularly for kids) it is far more memorable than most other books I read as a child.
