Inheritors Review

The next review is quite an odd one because I brought this book at a local indie bookstore in Charlotte for $1. The story is odd in itself because of the author who wrote being William Golding; the author behind the wonderful and thought provoking novel the Lord of the Flies. Now if you read any of William Golding works you know that he loves to make the reader rethink about humanity. Lord of the Flies took schoolboys and put them on an island in which you show the boys become uncivilized. Well in this novel he does the same in showing civilized and uncivilized behavior except he uses Neanderthal instead of schoolboys. Now for the actual review from goodreads with some minor changes.



For a classic novel , Inheritors, this was pretty outstanding with decent writing, but quite confusing at most points in the novel. That could be due to the fact of the author, William Golding, writing style is hard to get used too and if you enjoy Lord of the Flies pick give this novel a shot you might like or totally hate it. However if you are looking for a fast pace novel, then go somewhere else because this novel has a steady speed and will maintain that speed throughout the novel. I see the reason behind it being a classic, but like most classic it take an acquired taste. Read at your own peril. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
