It’s a book I’ve always fancied but never got round to reading till now. How in the name of God is it marketed as a kids’ book?!
It’s so brilliantly disturbing. I finished it a couple of days ago and can’t stop thinking it. Would the boys retain their hatred of Ralph once they’re on the boat that rescues them, or would they revert to the moral code they were raised with?
How did Piggy and Ralph get drawn into Simon’s murder?!
Please can we have a discussion about it? No one I know in real life has read it.
