This is the enthralling finale to Golding's magnificent trilogy. Talbot, the narrator, makes an amazing journey, both literally and figuratively, and across these three books Golding captures his growing self-awareness with brilliant subtlety. The incidents in each novel, the stuff of thrilling great writing in themselves, also serve to expose the human condition. This last book is probably the most exciting. But the trilogy as a whole leaves me awestruck. Read these books!
Good read. I think I want to read the other two in the series.
