Lord of the Flies by William Golding

BATB score: 6/10 🐷🪰🪰

British novelist William Golding 'Lord of the Flies' was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983; and that's why it is a high school literature class required read.

Best to: love the book's underlying themes about leadership, conformity, corruption, war, and power; but I don't love how the book is written with elaboration on rock, dirt, trees, pool, conch 🐚, coconut 🥥

Best for: if you read it in high school (but was too distracted to appreciate it) or watch the film (1990) iMDb 6.4/10, you might as well read the original novel (and find that the film was the best medium to convey the story)

Best as: collectible of Nobel Winning Novels; William Golding wrote 'Lord of the Flies' (1954) as he felt that mankind against mankind is the most corrupted beast... still true today (2022)

BATB lingering thought: “We did everything adults would do. What went wrong?” 500 words due Monday.
