Why you should rethink reading The Lord of the Flies

Have you ever read “The Lord of the Flies” if your answer is yes I have a question for you, you actually enjoyed those 288 pages? If your answer is still yes… we have serious problems. (Not really lol)

From my perspective The Lord of the Flies is a really good story, the fact that there are only children in a random island w/o parents or an adult there is a really cool concept, also the fact that they started doing their own “hierarchy” and social rules it's really fun to read

It's also really cool the fact that the author reflected so much evilness in the children given us a little understanding of how cruel a human being can be for people not being on their same side, yes. I'm mostly talking about piggy's death when the other gang “accidentally ” throw this big a*s rock to him crushing him to death, also when Simon got brutally killed because they thought he was the “monster” that everyone was talking abt… oh my! sorry ig this is a spoiler alert ;-)

Maybe you are wondering, why are you making a blog abt us considering reading this book if the only things you say are good things and that it’s interesting? Well, the book is great but when you start reading it more it gets incredibly boring.

When you start reading this book you seem interested in the way it starts not giving us context of what is really happening, giving us this sensation of being worried or at least to know what's going on with the kids that are confused and scared. When you start understanding and the kids are trying to survive is when you start getting bored. The book started being so boring that I had to read it at least 6 times to really understand and focus.

The conclusion for this blog…  I would honestly recommend you to read a summary rather than the actual book (I did this the second time I had to read it lol) because the book plot is really interesting and you will get engaged w it but its not worthy to read the whole book.
