I will just say this: I am glad I read it because I can say I have, but from now on I think I’ll simply stick to the film.
The story was fun, an exciting adventure, and certainly could have gone without the constant abridgment-interruptions or the maddeningly long introduction. It just got the point where after I’d finished the main story, I just didn’t even bother with Buttercup’s Baby. But I just give props because the story itself is, generally, a good one. It just happens to work better as a film, where Golding’s writerly shortcomings aren’t an issue. Ah, as I said, I’m glad I can say I read it.
