I was afraid this one wouldn't stack up to it's legendary status in my life. But I was pleasantly surprised. This story reads so smoothly, except for Golding's interruptions. I found myself increasingly irritated with his aside comments, like he was an annoying family member over the holidays. The meta aspects were something the movie pulled off better, I have to admit.
