For some reason whenever I picked this up it felt like ploughing a muddy field. Lumpy and hard to get through. I found out some of the symbolism in it which made sense but to me this whole book was not a magical treasure chest with hidden meanings but simply one of the most badly written pieces of work I've come across in a long time. Liking it just for the symbolism is not my cup of tea. I need more than boys turning to savages who supposedly for some reason need to kill each other and a bit less shattered writing, please.
