Lord of the Flies by William Golding
2.0

Amazing book. I didn’t enjoy it.
This book was waaaaayyyyy too depressing. I definitely didn’t appreciate my favorite character
being murdered in a horrible way halfway through. (Sorry, vague spoiler there, but if you thought no one was going to die, you probably don’t know what this book is about. Just saying. 😂) The whole book was just one sad or disturbing thing after another.

I understand the message the author was trying to put across, but I personally like to have a much more positive/optimistic view of human nature.
