Boys will always be boys... e quando são bastante jovens e ficam numa ilha sem supervisão adulta, primeiro a vida é uma festa e depois viram selvagens e assassinos. Entre a caça, pegar fogo à ilha, assassinar dois deles, um deles gordo em com algum sentido de responsabilidade, e finalmente o livro acabar sem qualquer sentido de responsabilidade, apenas a certeza de que a inocência tem um preço e acabou, fiquei um bocado chateada com este livro. O autor escreveu este livro em resposta a Coral Island, em que uma grande aventura acaba por acabar bem, querendo mostrar que a vida nem sempre é bonita e acaba bem e talvez um pouco da realidade dos colégios para rapazes (um pouco por todo o lado, mas com a experiência que, salvo erro, ele viveu em Inglaterra) e este transporta um pouco a ligeireza com que a vida passa para uns e o martírio que e para outros. Creio que o que me chateou mais foi o facto que já não ter tanto interesse numa história só de rapazes e a outra parte advém do facto de sempre ter sido uma criança responsável e que provavelmente eu seria um Piggy no meio de tanta criança despreocupada. Depois, embora a história seja quase intemporal no que ao bullying diz respeito (esteve, está e vai continuar a estar presente nas nossas vidas, quer queiramos ou não), fico sempre com a sensação que naquela altura a coisa era pior do que é agora, mas também de que agora aparecem casos mais extremos e isso continua a incomodar-me bastante. Boys will always be boys, but in a much more stupid way when lost on an island. E nem vou dizer que um conjunto de raparigas seria diferente, essas também não teriam sido boazinhas umas para as outras...
It would have probably been better if I hadn't had every major event spoiled for me before reading it.
This book holds a special place in my heart, since it was the first theatre play I starred in, so after a few years I decided to read it again throughly.
[I read the Italian Version] Honestly speaking, it doesn't look well written to me. I felt bored and forced myself to continue reading plently of times. I feel like the characters and the plot were not developped well. The characters don't have a background story, except for maybe one of them who inted at his past, and the plot sounds very confusing to me. I usually find it easy to visualize what goes on in a story, but this time it wasn't the case. Reading it in its original language sure is different, but at the moment I don't feel the need to. Definitely a book to maybe reconsider in the future.

...Not so much. Dark and beautifully written; I was very captivated by this book. I did not expect it to end with a rescue.
