I never wrote a proper review for this book, but I loved it. Does that make me a twisted person? I don't normally read books like this, but I loved the manga and movie and when I found out the novel came first, I just had to read it! I am so glad I did. I was intimidated by the size, but flew throug...
So I picked up The Hunger Ga-, err, Battle Royale as a huge fan of the film. It's one that I've owned on DVD for a good many years, and should I ever get the opportunity, I will happily update to a blu-ray. That's Battle Royale I'm talking about. Not The Hunger Games.It's an incredible, fast-paced t...
A near future novel, where an East Asian superstate sends groups of students off to battle until only one remains.The reason isn't given until near the end, but the novel focuses on the students from one class and how they feel about it, and how trust is broken down between friends.There are a group...
Manga was OK... I liked it.Movie was awesome... I loved it.Novel is as awesome as the movie... or maybe even more. The movie and the novel complement each other; one for the visual, and the other for the background history. 42 students that enter in the Program, only 1 can survive. There may be too ...
Battle Royale has always been one of my favorite movies and I watched it more than once, but I had no idea it was based on a book; when I found out, I had to read it.The book is quite thrilling and suspenseful, and it's sometimes difficult to put it down.I was surprised to find so many big differenc...
Battle Royale isn't literature. There's not much depth to it. A lot of the characters are underdeveloped. It could use some more world building. The violence is unrealistic. It's slightly predictable. It's the textbook definition of pulp fiction.And it's awesome. I've wanted to read this book for ye...
It was the most terrifying version of musical chairs imaginable.This book is Huger Games on steroid. If you have read and loved The Huger Games trilogy, you are definitely going to love this one. Maybe even more.I had a difficult time at first trying to remember all the names since they were Japanes...
I ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would! It took me awhile to really get into it, though. I generally am not a fan of translations, there's always that something missing, you know? But I'm glad I read this. If you like thriller, adrenaline and graphic violence (and, trust me, it's g...
2.5 starsBattle Royale has an interesting concept and the plot is extremely fast-paced. From the very beginning, it keeps the action pumping and doesn't let out until the very end.The events the students had to go through were horrifying and I honestly can't imagine what I would do if thrown into a ...
