      August 06, 2009: Students in high school taking honors courses can use Spark Notes as a source to getting excellent grades in a short amount of time. In my case, Lord of The Flies (Spark Notes) was very useful. I completed my assignment in no time. The book kept me captivated & did not bore me. Overall, I would recommend that students get this book if they have an assignment due in a short amount of time.

      October 30, 2007: Lord of the Flies was a decent book with lots of adventure, murder and mystery. It started with a plane crash on an island in the middle o the ocean. The plane consisted of many children: Ralph 'who was elected chief', Piggy 'who was large, smart, and often the butt of rude jokes' Jack 'the leader of the choir', the choir, Samneric 'Sam and Eric, the identical twins who do everything together', and quite a bit of little children. There were several dramatic conflicts that brought out the best and worst in everyones personalities. The longer they stayed on the island the more their imaginations ran away with them. They imagined that there was a beast on the island. Simon thought that a pig-head was talking to him, ran back to their campfire and was mistaken for the beast by the other children. They cracked, became savages, killed Simon, then later killed Piggy with a rock, & tried to kill Ralph! Over all this book had a good story line with a lot of adventure. At times the plot could be difficult to follow, and the ending was abrupt and anticlimactic.
