after reading "Hearts in Atlantis", see previous post, I decided it was about time to re-read an old favourite... The Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
I think that the creators of the TV series LOST were reading this book in the early stages of the first series. I'm not saying that they are Plagiarists just that they have some very similar themes.
i think what i like best about the book is the raw brutality and honesty. Children are cruel, in the lack of visible prescence of adult authority (although this is rapidly changing) children will bully, tease, and in the case of "piggy" the ultimate denial of independance.
wow. im hungry. gone to lunch, will finish this later
