Seeing me reading this, a friend joked “are you re-sitting your GCSE English?”
I guess it is a book associated with school, but I never read itthere, and it’s one of those that I always thought I should. Quite enjoyable and easy to see why it appeals to people of that age.
It did remind me of the TV series Lost, and indeed they refer to the
competing camp as The Others at one point. “Did you know” that the Lord of the Flies is what Beelzebub translates as?
