El concepto es muy bueno, pero no me gustó tanto el libro. La historia en general es buena y emocionante y aunque entiendo que es importante tener la historia de los participantes, no todas encajaban bien en la narrativa. Voy a culpar a la traducción por todos los momentos poco realistas y acartonad...
I'm just on chapter 9 and I have to say I've never read anything with as much violence as this. I thought I was prepared but this is much more violent than I imagined it would be, even with reading the reviews. It's making "The Hunger Games" look like a kiddie book. I'm going to keep reading it, onl...
Since my earliest youth I have weird vivid and recurring nightmares. One theme is being hunted for sport, having to find and kill my friends or be killed. Not long ago I finally dared to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It fit in with my dreams, and that was disconcerting. But it was an ele...
I first heard of Battle Royale when reading reviews of The Hunger Games, when it was suggested that Ms. Collins’ inspiration must have come from this book. It took me a while, but after seeing a few more recommendations, I purchased a copy and sat it on my shelf. Where it sat for several months unti...
I first encountered Battle Royale by watching the movie (which I still own). At the time, it just seemed like an over-the-top violent Japanese action flick with a rather absurd premise: a class of high school students ("junior high school" in Japan) is taken to an island and told by sinister governm...
Because of the new hype surrounding the Hunger Games and its upcoming film, I figure there’s going to be a lot of film snobbery about “Well, Battle Royale did it first.” Which, now having both read the book and seen the 2000 film, I really think that’s an unfair assessment of the respective books. B...
SEE BELOW FOR STUDENT LIST WITH MEMORY JOGGERS This is a really fun read, and has a lot more depth than the film did. I'm not sure they really covered the issue of why the game was happening in enough depth for my liking, but the characters were varied and interesting, and the story itself was thril...
My favorite book up to date. The Book Of Lost Things coming in second. I just could NOT go a single day without reading at least one chapter of this novel. It engulfed me until I finished reading. And if you loved the book, watch the movie! this is probably the only book i would ever actually tell p...
This was a lot of fun (in a demented way, of course), and I found myself marveling at the author's plotting (figuring out pacing, how/when to kill off 42 students, each one's little story, etc.). I was a little annoyed by all the lead-up to Shinji's plan that didn't even get executed, and I know t...
