Should i read lotf :3 i dont think my school is gonna make us read it are the plot and characters interesting or is it where you have to like the premise to enjoy it

(SO SORRY THAT I'M ANSWERING THIS SUPER LATE)

Yes! You should absolutely read LOTF. From my prospective, Lord of the flies is such a eye opening and well written story. Plus it contrasts from the typical "boys stuck on the island and they all live in harmony and get rescued just fine!!" With the added fact that there's so much foreshadowing and underlying meanings that you don't notice until you reread it. I 100% recommend reading it!

For the plot and characters are actually interesting, it really depends on how you see them and take from it (if that makes sense 😓) from my views, I wasn't all that hooked and interested until chapter 2, probably because I was too busy drawing and only paying attention to certain words and phrases. (I was listening to the auto book version in my school) but that's besides the point, the characters and plot are actually super interesting! The contrast between characters and how they act towards each other is just, wow. For example, Ralph and Roger, they are two complete opposites and see them being stuck on an island differently, which makes and creates tension between them as the story continues. Same goes for Jack and Ralph. Again, the plot is really different and a set back from other island-related books with the added fact this was set at the dawn of WWII.

For the question of do you have to like the premise of it to enjoy the book, it really depends on each person. Everybody has their own way of getting into and enjoying a book. I don't know how you read and what it takes to enjoy a book for you, but from personal experiences with this book, it didn't take much for me to adore this book. Reason why is the tense and unique story and plot, and the complex characters it comes with.

So sorry if none of this makes sense, I just woke up 😓
