For being a classic, I was kinda dissappointed. It's good, and it held my attention enough. But I felt that it wasn't clear in some instances

such as simon's death

. Would have loved for there to be less talk about the island flora and more description on what is actually happening to the boys on this island.

A well-written book, but kind of disturbing.
