Now the plot of the book was pretty much the same as I expected but my prediction of the ending was a little incorrect, overall it suited the plot so I was pleasantly surprised. But the repetition of incidents that shadows the theme of savagery vs civilization was done so many times that the plot seemed rather dry. Sure many things are going on hypothetically but all of these are so repetitive that it bored me. I don't know if I would have liked it more if I was in the same age group as them cause sometimes I was not amused by how simply the boys got manipulated, was I that naive (p.s-dumb) back in my kiddy age? The depiction of a power struggle between two boys was something that I think was very well done and I theorized that maybe they were mentally prepared for extreme situations(cause there was a world war going on) when they get used to being stranded on an uninhabited island so easily.
3 out of 5 stars.
