Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Assuming by your avatar that you are a girl, I'd say you'd like best Cold Mountain or Snow Falling on Cedars. Summer of My German Soldier is also in the running.

On the other hand, if you are a tomboy at heart or like INTENSE with some violence and universal truths, you might give Lord of the Flies a go. It may haunt you. But it's a great read.

Answer 2

Lord of the Flies is really good, Cold Mountain is one of my favorite books and is different then the movie, and Summer of my German Soldier is AWESOME definetly read that one and there is a sequel but it isnt as good.

Answer 3

I have read Lord of the Flies and it is full of symbolism and other things... it was a good book

Answer 4

The Other - by Thomas Tryon
Fabulous book.

Answer 5

Persepolis is a graphic novel based on a true story about a girl being sent out of Iran when the Shah was overthrown and the Ayatollah Khomeini came into power. You might be interested in reading a book of this type.

Summer of my German soldier is set during the 2nd world war.

Bastard out of Carolina is all about abuse.
