Review of 'Lord of the flies' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I hate this book. I see and understand the philosophical thoughts behind it, and i still hate it. I hate how Golding thought about kids (even if they are a metaphor). I hate his writing, which was horrible. It is unbelievable you can corrupt the English language like that or be forced to read a book with non coherent sentences in school. Sentences that have no meaning. I hate the sexism and the patriarchy behind it. I hate the introduction that tells me how i should interpret this book, because apparently the book itself can't do it on its own. And the worst is, that this book won a Nobel prize in literature..
