The School of English
The School of English
Hilary Mantel
¥9.71
When a plane crashes on a remote island, a small group of schoolboys are the sole survivors. From the prophetic Simon and virtuous Ralph to the lovable Piggy and brutish Jack, each of the boys attempts to establish control as the reality - and brutal savagery - of their situation sets in. The boys' struggle to find a way of existing in a community with no fixed boundaries invites readers to evaluate the concepts involved in social and political constructs and moral frameworks. Ideas of community, leadership, and the rule of law are called into question as the reader has to consider who has a right to power, why, and what the consequences of the acquisition of power may be. Often compared to Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies also represents a coming-of-age story of innocence lost.

"Aimee has brought me some of my favourite books this summer and I definitely won't be glad to see the back of these characters. Flirting in Florence is my easiest five star rating of the series. " ~ Reviewed the Book "There was more emotion in this instalment and I dislike the author for leaving it on such a cliffhanger! It's just mean and makes me want to start the next one even though it's 1am. :-) All I can hope is I get the ending I'm looking for in the final book, which I'm both sad and excited to start." ~ Lost to Books "Hooray, the sixth installment of the summer flings series is here, and an opportunity to check in with Ciara, Gem and Elle and see what they are up to as they arrive in Italy. Infact I was so eager I downloaded it at midnight, snuggled under my duvet, and had finished by 1am." ~ Jill Loves to Read Part 6 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories. Instead of hitting the designer shops with her friends, Ciara's all about proving Florence can be enjoyed on a budget - and she isn't talking about the sexy Italians Elle and Gem pick up for the duration!
