Ich wollte wissen, wie es ausgeht, hätte aber (wie so oft) besser nach dem ersten Band aufgehört.

Neither as funny nor as serious as the first two instalments. There’s just not as much going on. I think this might be the simple sea story promised in Rites of Passage. There’s drama and peril and two anchors dropping in the same port. Narratively, it’s a satisfying conclusion.

Yes. The perfect ending to the trilogy. Who now writes like Golding? The satire, the social commentary, the perfect observations? Wonderful.

Final part of Golding's trilogy following Rites of Passage and Close Quarters.

I never really got a firm grasp on this story. Though Edmund Talbot became less unlikable as I read the books, I never managed to care about him. This last book had a few interesting and even exiting pages, but the way it was told sometimes made it hard to follow.
