Regeln machen Menschen, verlieren diese an Bedeutung in einem nicht-gesellschaftlichen Rahmen, zeigt die ehrlichste aller Altersgruppen, Kinder, den spannenden Zerfall der Menschlichkeit. 

Rules make people, they lose their importance in a non-social framework, shows the most honest of all age groups, children, the exciting disintegration of humanity

I read this for the first time as an adult and it was an interesting look at human nature. It felt very plausible, which is telling, since it was so horrific. Especially with them being kids. I loved all the symbolism throughout. I think it was especially poignant reading it in today's society and political climate, as we seem to be moving more towards the uncivilized, tyrannical, and mob-mentality side of things. This was written so long ago, but these themes have played out many times throughout history. I can see why this is a good book to analyze in school! Definitely a book everyone should read at least once.

Not a fan of this book. Weird concept and confusing ending. I wouldn't read again.

Me costó un poco meterme en la historia y de vez en cuando era muy lento, haciendo tediosa la lectura con demasiadas descripciones del entorno. Pero en general fue un libro muy interesante y distinto a mis lecturas anteriores, que da mucho para pensar y reflexionar. En algunas partes era perturbador y crudo.
