Lord of The Flies is a perfect example of a modern classic. It is a compelling story about a group of young and very ordinary small boys, who get deserted on a coral island.
Summary
Lord of the Flies represents a perfect allegory for men. When a group of young English school boys get stranded on an uninhabited coral island when their plane crash lands on it. In the beginning, everyone cooperates with each other but soon things take an ugly turn into a nightmare of fear and death. At first, trying to be civilized the boys appoint a leader to guide them through and assign the daily chores to the boys. But things turn sour when there is major power struggle between the boys and the whole concept of perfect world collapses right in front of their eyes and they get to experience a world, which is primitive, brutal and cruel.

Awesome Book, A Must Read Book...!!!
Normally people blame the society, that because of the society they became evil.
But the story tells us that
There is evil inside us, sooner or later, we all have to face it.

THE BEST VERSION OF THE NOVEL.
Even after reading it twice in all sorts of positions conceivable the books remains as good as new.
And speaking of the content, In short, one of the best dystopian novel in my poor opinion, not unworthy of comparison to novels like Robinson Crusoe and Gullivers Travels.
NB. For casual readers: I'd advise you to purchase it without any hesitation for the book is a fast-read and devoid of linguistic complications.

On the fragility of man's enterprises
A fascinating insight into human nature and society shown through a small group of young boys.
Filled with intricate symbolism which demands being read multiple times to appreciate the depth.
Definitely not intended for light reading.

Good Read
Book depicts human tendency to dominate and its predilection for violence. Golding has done a good job is showing how human mind breaks down in the absence of law and order.
