Fast paced swash buckling adventure (0 more)
I read this book for my monthly book club, the topic being a book with a colour in the title. And I had heard good things about Wilbur Smith so picked this one.
It wasn't until I started reading it that I realised it was part of a series, be that as it may it was still a great book to read. And was a good fast paced swash buckling adventure. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the ending was quite abrupt, but if i come across his books again I will be reading more.

I know I read William Goldings 'Lord of the Flies' in school.

Truth be told, I didn't remember all that much about it, other than that it went to some very dark places.

As does this BBC adaptation of the same story, following a group of schoolkids who get stranded on an island following a plane crash, and who - with lack of parental authority - find themselves descending into some very barbaric behaviour.

Whilst I can appreciate *what* the editors were trying to show through the strange colour palette and the incidental music, I have to say I found this series to drag somewhat (and wasn't a fan of the same).
