This book is about a group of boys who get stranded on an island when returning home from a military school. It starts of With Ralph a fair-haired boy who is very athletic, and is elected "in charge" of the boys. Then we meet Piggy a larger boy who has a strong input in to the group but no one really listens to him. We also meet two choir boys named jack and Simon, Jack is very opinionated and wants to be in charge, Ralph put him in charge of hunting tho so he wouldn't complain. Simon is a very small boy who is quiet and seems to be shy, He often wanders off to his 'special place' near the lagoon.
So far this book is very interesting, Its a lot better then the movie as well. Simon is a very complicated person with lots of interests and a very interesting personality, which makes him one of my favorite characters in the story. It surprised me that he was actually shy, and that he would go of to his 'special place'. Its also surprised me how smart he was, i just figured that he would be an average boy but hes actually pretty smart.
