Love this story. Can’t read it.

The book they sent me isn’t the one pictured. Now I have a book I love but the font is too small and I didn’t know they would do that. I really wish I could’ve seen the physical copy that would be sent

A classic good read

As someone who is picky with fiction, I genuinely enjoyed every part of this book; I rarely found myself bored and loved reading all the annotations left my the previous reader, it made it so much more immersive and fun

There’s so many highlighted sentences and writing on all of the pages making this book way to distra

Handwriting and highlighter all over the pages

Not as advertised

I ordered this book in "very good condition", it is NOT. There's writing on EVERY page! I won't be able to read it

Shape of the book was horrible.

The book has nicks and tears. Most pages in the book were written on. Pencil notes, other pages words were completely scribbled out in blue pen with the words “no” or “absolutely not”. Was very disappointing!

Will never buy from these guys again

The lord of the flies I ordered a brand new copy with a certain cover and I gotta use one from Goodwill for 499 and I paid over $20 for mine so I’m a little confused why I received this one another one I ordered I also have pictures if you need them

Pages were falling out

Bought a copy for the one i own was written in and unreadable, open this one and pages fall out plus its written in.

A really enjoyable book

English is not my native language, but now I see why they recommend this book to students. It was really really worth it for me to give it a try.

Mixed feelings

This book pulls at so many different emotions. I couldn't stop myself from reading it once I started reading it. The ending was mind provoking.

Excellent book.

Brilliant example of hiw a dominance hierarchy might develope in the absence of rule of law. Even my 8 year old son understood that point. Great story for all ages. I also recommend the audio version as there is a great preface about the book by the author himself.

Great story

Great book, really breaks down the characters personalities and carries your attention to the end.

Sooo Good!

This was a required book for my lit class. I enjoyed it so much I regret not buying a copy. Even the kids who don't usually enjoy reading books for class enjoyed this book.

High School

Many of us were forced to read this novel in High School English class. I am glad I had to read this book, it made me think, but I remember it being gruesome as well!!
