“Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. I still read it every couple of years.”
—Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games trilogy
“I finished the last half of Lord of the Flies in a single afternoon, my eyes wide, my heart pounding, not thinking, just inhaling….My rule of thumb as a writer and reader—largely formed by Lord of the Flies—is feel it first, think about it later.”
—Stephen King
“This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man’s return [in a few weeks] to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is.”
—The New York Times Book Review
