" Lord of the Flies  is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager, I still read it every couple of years."  --Suzanne Collins, author of  The Hunger Games "As exciting, relevant, and thought-provoking now as it was when Golding published it in 1954." -- Stephen King "The most influential novel...since Salinger's  Catcher in the Rye ."  --Time "This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return (in a few weeks) to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality.  Lord of the Flies  does. It must also be superbly written. It is."  --The New York Times Book Review   "Sparely and elegantly written... Lord of the Flies  is a grim anti-pastoral in which adults are disguised as children who replicate the worst of their elders' heritage of ignorance, violence, and warfare."  --Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books, " Lord of the Flies  is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager, I still read it every couple of years."  -- Suzanne Collins , author of  The Hunger Games, " Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books.

    I received a different version of the item that was advertised - but am extremely happy to report that Clarissa responded quickly and, once it was confirmed, issued a refund without delay. I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!

    🎈🎈🧨🧨🎈🎈 This seller is all about service and customer satisfaction!! I ordered a book, received a book (very fast shipping), but it was not the title I ordered (same subject matter). I sent a message explaining what happened, received very quick response that was apologetic and requesting some additional info about the book I received. Sent that info and again very quick response. The book I wanted was not in stock, a full refund was issued, and I was allowed to keep the book I received!!😀
