I personally enjoyed The Lord of the Flies I thought that the characters and plot were deep, interesting, and most importantly, it was captivating and easy to read. None of the events seemed to be "filler" and none of the characters seemed "flat". It was hard to put down. The protagonist, Ralph, the antagonist, Jack, and the other main characters such as Simon, Piggy, Roger, and Samneric are all interesting and they feel like real people. From the amazing beginning to the terrifying end, there was nonstop action and suspense. This book is definitely a re-read.
The boys arrive on the island as the result of a plane crash, or more accurately their plane was attacked. They were leaving England during World War Two, escaping the bombing raids. Their landing on the island is followed by their appointment of Ralph as chief. This appointment is what changes the whole plot. After this moment, the boys take part in a power struggle. this struggle is what makes the book so great: it shows that not everything is fun and games. If the boys survived without any conflict, the novel would be boring. It would be unrealistic. It would not be worth reading. But it does have conflict, and a lot of it.
The book is great. I will read it over and over again
