For some reason I have never read this classic. I'm really glad I finally got around to it and definitely enjoyed this one. Its easy to see why its timeless and considered a classic. The themes and moral of the story are still reverent to today's time period.
A plane crashes on a remote island with all school boys. At first its fun and games being on their own without any adult supervision. But then things quickly go down hill and its a fight for survival, rescue and most of all power.
Unfortunately, I lost my copy halfway through reading this so it took my twice as long to finish as it normally did. But it was easy to pick up even after a a week or two of not reading. Even though it was written in the fifties the writing style still easily flows.
I wish my high school teachers had scheduled this book for an assignment. I would have loved taking the time to analyze it.
