W hen a group of schoolboys are stranded on a desert island, what could go wrong? 'One of my favorite books - I read it every couple of years.' ( Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games ) A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, they discover fantastic wildlife and dazzling beaches, learning to survive; at night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast. Orphaned by society, it isn't long before their innocent childhood games devolve into a savage, murderous hunt ... 'Stands out mightily in my memory ... Such a strong statement about the human heart.' (Patricia Cornwell) 'Terrifying and haunting.' (Kingsley Amis) 'Beautifully written, tragic and provocative.' (E. M. Forster) ONE OF THE BBC'S ICONIC 'NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD' What readers are saying: ' Every real human being should read this ... This is what we are.' ' It's brilliant, it's captivating, it's thought provoking and brutal and for some, its truly terrifying.' 'I t can be read and re-read many times, and every time something new will appear .' ' There is a reason why this is studied at school ... Excellent read.' ' This is one of the few books I've read that I keep on my Kindle to read again.' 'I revisit this every few years and it's always fresh and impressive ... One of the best books I've ever read.' Review: Greast book by the brilliant William Golding - - This is an amazing book by an amazing author. Golding always had a deep respect for mankind and worked with children his whole life as a teacher, but as a soldier in coming across the concentration camps of Beson and witnessing firsthand what man could do to his fellow humans, he was never the same and his faith in humanity significantly change as I’m sure it would be for anybody. And returning to teaching he would write this book on notepads, being aware when he came across the what the Nazi’s had done, wondering if that there could be a piece of this in him also. - I also heard on the radio how the book when William Golding sent in the publishers to read that it had many rejections until that eventually it ended in Faber and Faber publishing (although I can’t find further evidence), I do recall a radio story where one of the editors gave the book to one of the cleaners who regularly read them, and she returned saying get rid of the first 20 pages (Godling wrote an account of an atomic explosion which were subsequently removed from the final version of the book and started with Ralph and Piggy finding the island) and told the editor that he should publish it. When the editor read it, he was also transfixed to the story, and I was too. I find it amazing that some people find the story boring or dull. In showing how white male boys can act justice savage as anything else depicted in literature or reality, shows a that any of us could be capable of barbaric acts and tribal warfare. I think William Golding was a remarkable writer. I have also read The Spire and Pincher Martin which is one of the most amazing surprise endings in all literature) and I will read them more. Definitely an author who deserved his Nobel Prize for literature and one of my favourites. Review: Read the book before watching the series. - I first read this at school about 60 years ago. I remembered some of it as I re-read it, having watched the series on tv. I prefer the book to the series, as the series doesn't follow the book as truly as it could have. It is still a very good read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 519 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Fiction Classics for Young Adults 1 in Young Adult Nonfiction on Social & Family Violence 1 in Young Adult Fiction on Social & Family Violence | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 53,096 Reviews | ## Images ![Lord of the Flies: Golding William - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ChfZwmpLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greast book by the brilliant William Golding *by J***W on 2 February 2026* - This is an amazing book by an amazing author.

It is still a very good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful and highly enjoyable! *by K***R on 22 March 2026* I love to read classic novels from time to time and have been meaning to check this one out for some time. I really enjoyed it and found it to be well worth reading! I was glued on it from the moment I started it. This is the first book of Sir William Golding that I have read and I will now look forward to reading many more of his novels in the near future. He was a fantastic author with a very imaginative and creative mind. I also saw that there's a TV series adaptation and that also inspired me to read the book. I'll look forward to watching the series and hope I enjoy that also! ## Frequently Bought Together - Lord Of The Flies - The Catcher in the Rye --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48254675-lord-of-the-flies-golding-william](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48254675-lord-of-the-flies-golding-william) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
