There is wonderful ease and simplicity to William Golding’s writing. Descriptions rarely find themselves rambling and character development is served elegantly under the structured pace of its storytelling. Golding keeps himself well-positioned within the mindset of its young characters as a means of leading his readers to a narrative that feels intimate and plausible.
