Episode Overview
In this episode of Bookin’ With The Boys, we dive into Chapters 7-9 of Lord of the Flies, where things take a dark turn. Ralph experiences the rush of the hunt, blurring the lines between leadership and primal instincts. Meanwhile, Jack officially breaks off and forms his own savage tribe, promising food and fun while stealing fire from Ralph’s group.
But the real game-changer? The Lord of the Flies itself—a grotesque pig’s head on a stake that gives Simon a terrifying revelation: The beast isn’t real—it’s inside them all. As the chaos peaks, the boys get caught in a deadly frenzy, and Simon pays the ultimate price. Has the island passed the point of no return?
