So I just finished reading the lord of the Flies in my English class… Oh my god, how good it is! It's the first ever book I've read ENTIRELY, and I really, really enjoyed it. Anyway, since I read this book, I've been trying to read more books like this! I mean, I've been recommended some books by George Orwell, and I recently bought Animal Farm, so what I need is to find more books like this!!!!!!
If anyone can recommend me some, I would truly thank you….

Not a classic, but the Gone series by Michael Grant is pretty heavily inspired by Lord of The Flies, but set in a more modern setting with teenagers trapped inside of a giant dome that appears over their city, on the same day that every adult vanishes.
On the Beach by Nevil Shute
What was it you especially enjoyed about Lord of the Flies?
If it’s island based chaos with violence – Battle Royale
If it’s the British school boy interactions – a more light hearted subject matter is the Jennings series by Anthony Buckeridge. Or Stalkey & Co by Rudyard Kipling.
William Golding wrote other novels – The Inheritors might be a good one to try.
Alan Garner was inspired by the book – Try Elidor
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad might a shout, too
Slaughterhouse Five – Kurt Vonnegut
The Great Gatsby
