Lo compré de segunda mano. Vino en perfecto estado excepto algunas anotaciones a lápiz que fueron fácilmente eliminables con una goma. El libro en sí es una gran lectura. Historia tensa llena de analogías con la vida real y simbolismos que llevan a posarse preguntas desde el ambito político hasta el antropológico. No es un libro infantil o juvenil. Recomiendo su lectura a alguien que quiera leer un libro más serio.

Lord of the Flies is one of those books everyone should read no matter what kind of books you like. The story will stick with you for a long time and there is a timeless message hidden within the pages. Even though I never read this in high school, this is defiantly a high school level book. The reading is quick and easy once you get into it, just the plot might slow you down. Everyone should read though if you want to understand great usage of motifs, foreshadowing, allusions to mythology, and get certain references from several books, movies, and television shows. The main reason I started this book now was one I never read it before and two I have read all the Hunger Games. Yes, Hunger Games is like Battle Royale, but they are both extremely close to Lord of the Flies as well. Another reason I read this was that I heard Fables refers to it in the Animal Farm story arch, not just the pigs head on a stick, but the fact only one person can hear the “Lord of the Flies” talk to them. So, I went all Fables Fangirl at that part of the book. I must say I also was constantly thinking about the Simpsons’ episode were the kids are stranded on a disserted island. Overall, I really liked the book. It was somewhat predictable at times, but I think that was mainly due to the fact the book has been referenced so many times. Not to give anything away but there is a lot of talk about Piggy’s glasses and how if he ever lost them. At times, the dialogue was a little difficult to follow, but I just had to figure out who was talking when. This is more of a personal issue, but authors need to stop stereotyping twins so much. We are not the same person and makes it hard for me to follow books when they make them Samneric all the time. I think my favorite character in the book was Piggy. Right away, you just get a sense of feeling for him and you just want him to stand up for himself. Ralph you get the feeling he is a complete jerk and you know he is going to be the main villain of the story. I mean he calls Piggy by his nickname, when Piggy tell him not to call him that. Although, Piggy was stupid for even trusting Ralph in the first place, as most innocent kids when they meet bad friends. Clearly, Piggy just wanted a friend. This is the type of book I could go on and on with in my review, but I’m not going to or I know I give away spoilers to those who are living under a rock and never even heard about this book. As I previously said before, this is a book everyone should rad no matter what types of books you like to read. I very much recommend it to those who read Battle Royale and Hunger Games though. This is a great book too for a horror aspect of bullying and the flaws a government with too much authority. You don’t just read this book, this book makes you experience!
