Book Review: Lord of the Flies

"Lord of the Flies" is a novel written by William Golding. The first publication was in 1954. Since then it is one of the most famous novels. Also, it was filmed.
So, in the beginning reader meets with a of boys, who are got onto a tropical island because of catastrophic incident. Well, they are now all alone, without adults. We can compare it like: Before-paradise, after-hell. The most cruel and violent scenes begin right now. In so massive company must be a leader. The most tough and cruel boy named Jack became a leader. In every situation like this will be one or two exceptions, like Ralph and Piggy. Ralph-the main character, who is not a slave of a beast's instinct, the onnly person, who is still a human, with his little friend Piggy stuggle to survive in this hell. He is against those wild tribes, because they have all become animals. But the fortune is not on his side, soon Piggy leaves this world. It is one of the most violent scenes in this novel. So, all they fight to survive.
I think writer was trying to show readers the real
essence of humanity. All bad sides. many people can not read this, because it consists a lot of violence. But still, in my opinion, the book is great and clever moral.
Nowadays this book is not so popular to read. Still, I think it has great
potential. May be some day it will be re-written with some innovatives.
