Lord of the Flies: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Important classic fiction that every child should read.

My son liked this cover better than the original. He loves the book and the movie.

Great book. Just picked up a new copy. Haven't read it since middle school. It's still a great read. This is one you recommend.

This is not a review of the book itself, just the e-book version. I read it and also listened to an unabridged audiobook read by the author himself, and did not notice any discrepancies. I found no annoying typos or font alignment issues. Seemed to be true to the original text. Good addition to the Kindle library for a low price.

Classic story. Well made. My daughter loved it

Had to get this for school reading. The binding is nice. Not like the cheaper paperbacks and the pages are pretty heafty.

I loved the book, but it came in with the pages looking like they had been cut wrong. Looked like the edges were cut by a dull knife.

It's so hard finding a nice cover for this book. I was kinda upset my choice was for paperback. But I am picky for my books, so I went along even though it was paperback. I was not expecting the book to look and feel very nice. It is so nice I am happy it's paperback and not hardcover. For every book lover that loves having good looking books, I really recommend this one. It looks amazing and even the feel is amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful book, excellent quality. And yes, the page edges are supposed to be like that.

A brilliant novel. Particularly, love what they’ve done with the cover and pages; it resonates with the rawness of the book

Muy bonita portada

Livro fantástico! Li quando era criança e agora comprei para minha filha — ela adorou. Achei um pouco caro quando encomendei, mas, quando chegou, fiquei muito satisfeita com a edição. É realmente muito bonita. Gosto especialmente das páginas cortadas de forma irregular. Já tenho vários livros nesse estilo e acho que dá um ar mais “orgânico” e especial ao livro. Vi algumas reviews de pessoas achando que as páginas irregulares eram um defeito, mas não são: é proposital e bastante comum em edições estrangeiras. No Brasil nunca tinha visto esse tipo de acabamento, então imagino que muita gente não esteja acostumada. Enfim, uma edição muito bonita de um livro que adoro. Valeu a pena!

On ne juge pas au physique, mais j'ai clairement choisi cette édition pour la première de couverture, que je trouvais super jolie. La (mauvaise) surprise était cachée : les pages du livre sont coupées au sécateur. Un choix esthétique qui fera frémir tous les toqués (comme moi) qui aiment les trucs bien droits, bien parallèles.
