I have read this book before in 10th grade and now my senior year were doing a presentation on banned books i picked lord of the flies. For one i like the book i would want people younger then me to read this, but some of the reasons I read about this book being banned is crazy for example in Toronto they banned this book because it said “nigger” OMG how can a person remember just one word of the book cause when i think about this book the only thing I think of is a group of boys being stuck on an island learning how to survive and at the same time showing that man will turn wild when it needs survive but thats it really. Also I really don’t feel this book should banned any where or any other books

I am so surprised to see how many people love this book. As for banning -- no way this is very well written and it deserves to be a classic. But I thought the story was horrible! Yes, human nature is bad, but it's also good. I read it for the first time as an adult; my english class read To Kill a Mockingbird and the others read Lord of the Flies. I much prefer the To Kill a Mockingbird look at human nature! Rebecca Reid’s last blog post..Beauty and the Beast + The Complete Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault

I really liked this book when I read it in high school. I found it fascinating although having to pick it apart for english class did dull some of the enjoyment.

one of the few books i can say i truly HATED. i don’t know, i read it when i was 13 i think, and maybe i need to try it again, but i really really didn’t like it. eric loved it though, and the phrase “sucks to your asthmar” is used regularly in our household.
