Lord of the Flies

I feel it's written in a boring way, I didn't care about any of the characters and I didn't learn anything about them aside from them being generic archetypes. While it could be argued that the blatant racism in the book was a way to subvert the ideas of British racial superiority that was prevalent when the book was published, there are still many undertones of racism.

Perhaps the concept of the book was original in the 50s? The book got slightly more interesting near the end.
