Amazon Editorial Review
Before The Hunger Games there was Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.
Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.

Thanks so much for the Wishlist book, hostile17. One of those classics I haven't read... or if I did, it was so many years ago that I don't remember. Love your comment, "An example of the horrible things children can get themselves into when there is no adult supervision to be found. " How true! How true!
