Willam Golding is a D-1 yapper. I read this book in my english class and if it weren't for my teacher, I genuinely wouldn't understand what is going on. He tries to be very descriptive but it ends up just being nonsense. (it could just be a British literature thing idk) I really like the ending of the book, however, it gives me something to think about, and the characters show many flaws and it is quite realistic for how children would reacted in a situation similar to this. The book is in third person pov, which isn't what I like, but that doesn't mean it was a bad story.
