Emotionally disturbing, a frightening picture of the dark sides of humanity.
I had read this years ago, and decided to read it to my husband, who had never read it. I think he was unsure at first, not knowing anything about the book. But, I believe he was hooked after a couple chapters.
When you first open the book, and read the calm descriptive passages about the color of the light on the ocean, you do not know what you are in store for.
Mr. Golding's style in which he unfolds his tale is captivating and heart wrenching. This is definitely a must read. My Husband was very glad I introduced him to it. Once we were to the final chapters I said, "We have to read through to the end now, we can not put it down." He quickly saw why, and we finished reading it on the edges of our seats.
