I went into this book with a pretty correct idea about what it would be about. It reminded me of every job I've ever had; a bunch of childish boys trying to decide who's in charge.
What surprised me is that it was actually a nice little tropical vacation of sorts. I should have read it in wintertime.
Questo libro mi folgorò e lo ricordo ancora con moltissimo piacere. Libro selvaggio. Bello.
Letto al liceo. Bellissimo, nonostante la lettura "obbligata" non faccia mai piacere. Molto crudo, inquietante, diretto, cupo. L'istinto di sopravvivenza dell'uomo che trasforma i bambini naufragati sull'isola da "civili" allo stato brado.
Scritto nel 1952 ma ancora attualissimo. Consigliato.
