Lord of the Flies by William Golding
4.0

wow that was fucked up… this book is a descent into savagery that starts off almost whimsically—no grownups! sunny beaches! ripe fruit!—but ends inevitably with blood. a chilling portrayal of the darkness of the human heart, the thirst for power, & hive mentality. we are human only because we are animals…. overall, a very fascinating read!

4 stars only cause it was kinda slow in the middle and 1950s british boys are insufferable
