this book at first was kind of boring because I could not focus on it,and I was quite lost for a long time. Until I got up to page 100something, did I realize that there were many deep themes and a huge meaning behind this book beyond the fact that little boys were stuck on the island after a plane crash. Watching clips from the movie, I had a visual of the boys so it also helped get through the book [ even though I thought the movie was just as boring as the book...I think I should see it again]. Ralph,Simon,Piggy,Jack,Samneric all had an impact in the book- big or small, it was them who put the pieces together for the audience to understand why William Golding wrote this book.
