Lord of the Flies is in 3rd person limited point of view. For example, during the scene where Simon is talking to the pig head carcass, the "Lord of the Flies", you never see inside the head of Simon as he's having his seizure, such as when he lifts his head up. Nor could you see the emotion of different characters at different situations; you could only see dialogue.

they think he is 'batty' and 'cracked'. They don't understand the superior knowledge of Simon
That depends. If the story is fictional, or not real, then the point of view is most likely of the protagonist or main character. Some books which use 3rd person or 3rd person omnipresent don't have a point of view or change points of views from character to character. (1st person is from the protagonist's point of view, 2nd is from you, or the reader's point of view and is very uncommon, and 3rd person or 3rd person omnipresent is from multiple points of view, constantly changing or from an omnipresent point of view, or a point of view where you the reader can see everything that's going on) If it's non fiction, or a book on something real, then the point of view is most likely always from the person the book is about, or 3rd person, again. If you can't tell where the point of view is, just look at which character the book is writing about.
"Miss Brill" is told from a third person omniscient limited point of view.
In the few books I have read by James Patterson, he writes in first person point-of-view.
