“Lord of the Flies” by William Golding is an exceptional book that delves into sequences full of curiosity and excitement. A plane crashed near a tropical island that carried schoolboys in which Ralph and Piggy are highlights of helping the group survive in the isolated and unknown place without any adult guide. Many characters join to make this book memorable, but the most important ones are worth talking of. Jack, a teenager who acts like a beast when it’s time to hunt for food, becomes in charge of keeping the group fed. Jack’s ultimate goal is to catch a pig (the lord of the flies) which makes him aggressive towards his team. Piggy carries the most tragic role: he deals with asthma and wearing big glasses makes him feel like an outsider. Planes fly by the island but they are unaware and eventually, they will have to find a way out or seek help. I liked how the story kept its meaning and it did not have many unnecessary events. Despite that quality, I feel that the author could have extended the ending instead of rushing the suspense of the story in a few pages. But in all, I recommend this book for those who like suspense and adventures!
