writeonsteph 's review for:
Lord of the Fly Fest
by Goldy Moldavsky
3.5 rounded up because of the unfair 2 star reviews that seem to be populating this page. This book is wickedly satirical, and very funny in the right ways. What keeps it from being a five star rating is the truth about a very minor character, and the lie told by the main character to achieve a certain goal. But that aside, I had a blast listening to this.
It pokes a lot of fun at our reliance on the internet, social media and influencer culture (but also acknowledges how those forces can be used for good, too!) The characters seem a little bit caricature at times, but it adds to the absurdity of the reality that is Fly Fest.
There was a great non-binary character, along with several funny nods to real celebrities, and it was a very faithful adaptation of LORD OF THE FLIES. Highly recommend the audio book, which is narrated by Barrett Wilbur Reed, who is the cast recording of Veronica in HEATHERS and Janis in MEAN GIRLS.
