Lord of the Flies follows a group of boys as they go to the worst summer camp ever.
There are no tents or cabins for them to sleep in, the food is terrible, and the staff seem to have left the boys completely to their own devices. Luckily, one of the campers is a homicidal maniac, and he begins hunting wild pigs that live in the forest around the camp, so they do not starve.
Eventually, the camp counselors return, and boy are they upset when they see what the homicidal maniac has been up to in their absence — killing all the unpopular, fat and nice boys.
At the end of the story, the camp’s insurers pull the camp’s coverage, and it is forced to close down.

The love affair between Winston and Julia is touching, though I’m not sure why it’s so important that she fetishes the vacuum attachments Winston is trying to sell her on their first meeting.
You’d think an adventurous post-apocalyptic story would have more pitched sea battles and swordplay, so I was really disappointed with this book. There was only one boat, no pirates, and the violence wasn’t very romantic.
