I read Of Mice and Men, but not Lord of the Flies. Of Mice and Men was really good, I've heard Lord of the Flies is sitting on the fine line between good and so-so...

Yeah I did Of Mice and Men for my English GCSE exam. I really enjoyed it, but picking it to pieces does take the enjoyment out slightly.

I read Lord of the Flies but not of mice and men. Lotf is boring at first but it builds up speed and soon you cant put it down.

I agree. I did LotF for English in Grade 9, and I really didn't "enjoy" reading it -- it's a bit too dark for that. But I loved the allegory and how everyone symbolizes something and how deceptively deep it became. If you're into things like that, it's a terrific read and stays with you for a long time.

I read 'Of Mice and Men' in School and it must have been a good book because I always remembered it and bought it later in life to read again.
and when I was in school I wasn't much of a reader so for the book to stay with me and for me to remember the story etc shows just how good it was. yes

and I really like the 1992 remake of 'Of Mice and Men' directed by Gary Sinise and starring him and John Malkovich. I thought it was well done.
I haven't read the book of 'Lord of the Flies' but I have seen the films (Original & 1990 remake).
I love the story, it's so sad tho

i saw the film version of lord of thr flies when i was younger and thought it was really good and, its sad to say, a rather acurate prediction of what would happen in that kind of situation.
i went back a couple of years ago and read the bok, but it was a bit of a trial to get through in places roll eyes (sarcastic)

I have read 'Of Mice and Men' but not 'Lord of the Flies'. It was really different from books I usually read, it was surprisingly good.

i never read of mice and men, but i did lord of the flies in grade 9. it was a good book, i liked how dark it got and like chez said how everyone symbolizes something. there were some creepy images in for sure, and i could definitely see something like that happening.
