Purchased at a garage sale a few weekends ago whilst shopping with my niece. Only .25c for this classic.

Started reading: 2/20/06
Finished: 3/8/06 - Wow! I nearly gave up on this one. Three quarters of the way through I was seriously thinking of giving up. There was a lot of repetition at first, but then the story explodes. What can I say except the ending is alarming. Don't give up on this classic. Thank goodness for the notes at the end of the book because I never would have caught the symbolism Golding is depicting. I read for entertainment and not to try and decipher hidden meanings but the notes help put it into perspective, so be sure to read to the last page.

1990 movie 4/11/06 Received movie through PeerFlix.com. Compared to the book, this version is pretty close, but boring. The film studio (MGM) did nothing to add suspense. Looking for the 1963 version now to compare.

1963 movie.

I had read this before, but it is still a gripping tale.
