- Lord of the Flies: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

This author is mental, and I loved loved loved this book! Will read again someday, hopefully.

Very beautiful edition of Lord of the Flies! I really love how the cover folds out to other images…and I kept seeing in the reviews about the pages being uneven but it’s supposed to look that way…I actually really love when the pages look like that…I really love the cover art, it’s absolutely beautiful…I read this book in high school and I remember really liking it and I would really like to reread it…the book came in great condition as well…very happy!

Having never read this in high school for some reason I decided at the age of 52 to give it a go. Never saw movie nor knew much about the story but was aware of its “classic” lore. Goodings imagery and symbolism are outstanding. Dont’t give up on it as the dialogue bounces a bit in my opinion. Great story that says so much in a timeless nature.

Stephen King introduced the book. The book was very good.I saw the movie on TCM. The book was a little different. English boys from age six to twelve were stranded on an Island in the Pacific. A first they are nice. One boy whose name is never revealed, called Piggy meets Ralph. They find a Conch Shell and when they blow it; dozens of boys come from areas of the Island. As the days go by the boys get more cruel and three of them die.

This is the best edition. Great font size, great page margins, unbeatable cover art, an introduction by Stephen king, and a the section with book recommendations.

I loved the book, but it came in with the pages looking like they had been cut wrong. Looked like the edges were cut by a dull knife.

I don't remember if we read this in school or not. I noticed that it was on some banned book lists . so decided to reread . well worth the time .

A classic everyone should have on their bookshelf

Je ne l'ai pas encore lu, je suis déçue car le livre est arrivé légèrement abimé sur un angle. L'édition en elle-même est très belle, façon journal assemblé, et la couverture n'a pas son pareil!

Muy bonita portada

A wonderful tale to make you think. Excellently written, a true classic.

Excelente

I’ve seen many so-so copies of Lord of the Flies, but this copy really made me want to read it. If anyone wants to buy a copy of the book, this is the best version in my opinion.
