Lord of the Thighs... is a good song by Aerosmith.

I probably would have picked it up on my own, but it was required reading in my HS. 9th grade.

Good book, but not the best I've ever read. That would be Lord of the Rings.

Funny, that new reality show "Kid Nation" made me think of this book. I wonder if the producers of this new show ever read it all the way through?

Does anyone else understand the Biblical origin of the title?

Baal was the Canaanite God. (Canaanite word for "Lord" = "Baal")

The Canaanites would sacrifice humans, sometimes their own children, to Baal.

The Israelites fought against the Canaanites when they took over the land.

Their put-down of the Canaanite God was to call him "Baal-ze-bub" , Hebrew for "Lord of the Flies."

That's where we get the name for the demon/devil "Baelzebub."

It was a setwork book in grade 10, I think. I liked it.

It's a good book. I also saw the movie, although the book seemed to be more vivid, but that's typical.
