Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's \u003cb\u003eThe Catcher in the Rye\u003c\/b\u003e in its influence on modern thought and literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has become a modern classic. At first it seems as though it is all going to be great fun; but the fun before long becomes furious and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behaviour collapse, the whole world the boys know collapses with them--the world of cricket and homework and adventure stories--and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible.Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, \u003cb\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/b\u003e has established itself as a true classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is one of my favorite books.
