Download Lord of the Flies Audiobook

" This was assigned reading and needed a little help getting interest level up. This audio really helped! Reading along was fantastic for my daughter who didn't think this was "the book for her", but after getting engaged with the audio ended up enjoying the book. "

" I was never made to read this book when I went through school so now that I am a bit older I thought that it was time that I did so. Of course every knows the outline of the story so it was no surprise that these young boys that are stranded on a tropical island reverted back to uncivilized human beings. There is an attempt to organize but with kids that young it just wasn't possible. The book met my expectations in the end. Of particular note, the author William Golding reads the book. He is not a great reader but he does a great service to the authenticity of the body of work. "

" It is one of those books you must read in your youth to prepare you for life. Life is full of the bullies, weaklings, followers, bosses, etc. This book lays it all out in graphic, heart wrenching, eye opening detail. "

" This book was pretty nice, there's a lot symbolism used (which i love). I thought this book would be about boys adventuring on an island but i was a bit off. This book, like frankenstein, led me to ponder life without authority figures to guide people. "

" Essentially I like this as a book about government. The isolated boys demonstrate the extent to which good behavior and democracy are learned, just as they can be unlearned. What ideologies last when subjected to chaos of human interaction? Each choice is justifiable and sad as it is done independently. The heart of it rings true as one realizes the chaos of adults surrounding their island adventure is a strict parralell of the violence they themselves experienced. "

" Not very complex I'm afraid, but a good point he makes about humanity and civilization nonetheless. "

" Poses some great ideas on human nature and really shows you how uncivilized we can be. "

" Suffered through it in high school. Haven't read it since. "

" Although it did started slow, it got interesting in the final few chapters. The moment characters started to die, is the moment it got interesting. "

" It's a famous book, so I had an inkling of what was going to come, but even when it did, I was shocked. Just devastating. "

" I remember reading this for Grade 10 enriched English and loving it. "

" I get the point, but I probably would have liked it more if I had read this when I was younger. "

" This book give incredible insight as a microcosm of interpersonal interactions. It should be read by everyone. "

" Another one I read at school for English Lit. It was good but even now I can't get past my prejudice that is a 'boy's book!' "

" Interesting how a group of kids is capable of creating a complex society, with myths, leaders, morals, and wilderness. "

" This is my new favorite book to teach. "

" I don't have much to say about "Lord of the Flies", because I think its simplistic beauty speaks for itself. I will leave you with this: It is scary to think how much like Ralph and the choir boys we as human beings really are. "

" A haunting tale of what would happen had societal rules been eliminated. "

" One of my all time favorites. A classic. "

" I had to read a classic book for a book report, so I chose this book. This was a good book, it could be very confusing at some parts so i would have to re-read that part, but all-in-all it was a good book. "

" Nice story with an interesting theme behind it. Especially like the irony in the end. "

" Another required reading book from high school. It was disturbing to realize how children are especially prone to behaving savagely in extreme circumstances. "

" I remember reading this when I was about 14 and being shocked. It's one I'd like to read again now that I am an adult. "

" It is not far what happens in our real life. "

" I read this earlier this year in English Class, and I positively loathed it. There is so much stuff wrong with this book. "

" Lord Of The Flies is a very challenging book but, its good once you start too break it down and take notes =) ! "

" It's a very depressing book
