Was that the End???

Lord of the Flies is a very good book up until the end. This ending was very boring and abrupt. I think Golding got tired of writing and just ended it because it was so sudden. The naval officer arriving was a bummer to me because it was just getting good. They were now becoming more and more evil. They finally wanted to go kill the opposition and this was getting interesting. I would have liked to see how the ending was if they wouldn’t have met the naval officer. If I would have written the book I would have did something that nobody expected like Ralph killing them all and then the naval officer appearing. He made the last chapter very, very interesting until the officer came. This was the time I was paying the most attention in the entire book because it was action packed. Why would he end the book like this? It was to show his point that when someone came back from "the real world" and reality set in they were still humans and KIDS and were remorseful for what they did. This book was a great example and showed exactly what would have happened if a bunch of little kids got trapped on an island. Very good book but very bad ending.
