|summary=Have you ever wondered how Goldman's ''Lord of the Flies'' would have worked if the characters were adults instead of children? Palmer's novel is wider in scope, but follows a similar theme of how quickly Utopia can become dystopia.

William Golding's ''Lord of the Flies'' is widely considered to be one of the great classics of all time and it's been a personal favourite of mine ever since I was first handed it at school. Reading the copy on the back of William Palmer's ''The Devil is White'', I was reasonably confident that something similar might happen with this book and I was not disappointed.
