Ilustration Concering Books Battle Royale

Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan - where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller - Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available for the first time in the English language.

Evaluate Of Books Battle Royale

3.75/5absolutely this book like the hunger games or the hunger games like it but of course has different things and I think i loved the Hunger Games more

I came across this book after reading Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins which was claimed to be a Battle Royale rip-off. Needless to say, I was curiousI have to admit, similarities between these two books are undeniable. They both are based on the same idea of teenagers forced to participate in a deadly game where only one person wins and lives. However at the same time these books are completely different. I believe you can enjoy and appreciate them both equally. If Hunger Games is more of a

Cult novels are hard to resist. Lord of the Flies. Naked Lunch. A Clockwork Orange. Fight Club. Startling. Brutal. Original. Compelling. They frighten me to death, yet I love them. It's that kind of complicated.I picked up Takami's Battle Royale mainly because the guy in the bookshop opened his mouth and said 'cult novel'. Just two little words and I was immediately consumed with the need to know why.Wikipedia gives the following plot outline:"The novel and manga Battle Royale takes place in an

I had heard several times that the Hunger Games was a rip-off of Battle Royale. I personally always thought the Hunger Games was a combination of The Running Man and the Long Walk. But now, having finally gotten around to reading Battle RoyaleI can only say wow. People have very valid complaints here. There are entire sections that are almost word for word. Was Collins ever actually accused of plagiarism? Anyway, I digress. There are a bunch of students on a bus for a school field trip. Or so

I'm a huge fan of dystopian books, where the future is bleak and infinitely dangerous and if you're gonna survive, you better check your morals at the door. With reality TV everywhere we look these days, and the UFC a mainstream pastime, it's easy to imagine a Survivor where tribe members voted out don't go home, but are executed instead. I figure society's perpetual blood lust is never as deeply buried as we think (or hope). Stephen King describes Battle Royale as "an insanely entertaining pulp

For the last, oh, 200 pages of this book or so, I kept thinking about what I'd say in my review. I never know how I'll start a review, but this time I kept thinking of possible opening lines. But, like Lays potato chips, I couldn't stop at just one, so here are my top 3, in no particular order: 1. There... once... was... a... book... of... ellipses... which... occasionally... had... words... in... between... them... 2. I'll never read the phrase "That's right" the same way again. 3. I see dead

First off, if you go shopping for Battle Royale based on my review, you need to look for Battle Royale: Remastered. I stayed away from this book for years because of reviews from friends that said the translation was broken. All too often, translations are rushed due to the piece's success in the original language or an upcoming film adaptation. Recent fuckery would include the first Stieg Larsson book, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which remains one of the worst translations I've set eyes
