Lord of the Flies by William Golding
4.0

Well, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I expected a lot more order among the group but it's quite hectic from the beginning, so there's no surprise that it doesn't end well. It is really well written, but I found the stereotypes too dated to find it relatable, although it is an excellent exploration of character. It is quite scary by the end, too, and it certainly leaves you with a lot to think about.
