Lord of the flies

This was the last book that i read. It was written in 1954 by an author named William Golding. Its about a plane filled with school boys who crash on an uncharted island. They all try to get along but soon they split up into two groups and start a bad conflict that leads to madness and death/murder.
The main character Ralph tries to keep everyone together, but his rival Jack seems to think its not such a good idea to work on huts and keep eachother sheltered, he seems to think that killing animals for meat is the best way to go. They all eventually go on Jacks side except Simon and Piggy, and the twins. Simon dies by everyone going after him, and Piggy is murdered by Jack who pushed him over a cliff. I would recommend this book to whoever likes very visual text and filled with adventure. Its one of my favorite books.
