Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller envisions a nightmare scenario: 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 until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller— 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. Review: Loved the movie? You'll love the book. - I found the Battle Royale film back in 2006 on the internet due to the controvery surrounding it, giving it a legendary status akin to Miike's Audition, and adored it. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan, where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller and a MASSIVE and poignant culturally relevant success. Lots of vividly described gore and carnage throughout. Some detailed explanations include eyeballs popping, decapitations, holes shot in bodies, exposed brains or guts, and more. This book is not for the faint of heart. One of the most amazing things about Battle Royale is how the author manages to give his characters fairly fleshed-out lives, despite how many students there are. Most middle school students in real life have cliques and crushes, and these are no exception. (See the circled labels and dotted lines in the chart.) Despite the danger, they find their friends and their beloved. Readers know middle school love hardly survives, but the characters want to die without regrets. They feel compelled to confess their feelings, lose their virginity, or apologize to their friend before they become the next target. The dialogue is natural and hardly ever preachy. Some of the kids involved in politics wax poetic about the country and its failings. Most of them, though, are content to gossip about their crushes or other students. They talk about their families, hobbies, and pasts. They make plans for a future they may never see. Battle Royale is much more than “the first Hunger Games" or the book it ripped off. Its beautiful characterization of a huge cast is phenomenal. The teens are complex human beings, and both their lives and deaths reflect this. While the book is exceptionally gruesome, those deaths tell a story and give dignity to the young lives that just ended. Its pacing keeps readers on their toes, but never drags out too long and I think Battle Royale is a great "step up" for someone who enjoyed the premise of Hunger Games but wants something heavier and more grounded in reality for adults. Whether it be lessons on working together to forge off seemingly impossible situation, the dangers of being a political ideolog and sycophant or conveying the generational gap between adults and teenagers and how adults treat teenagers like idiot rebels without a cause, I was both surprised and pleased to walk away with a different point of view than I had upon beginning this eye opening work of fiction. Review: Great Book! - I randomly came across this on a list of top 100 spooky books everyone should read list. And I gotta say this book is very good. I can't recommend it enough. It's somewhere like 600 or 800 pages and when I first got it I was like I will never get through this book. Lol and 3 days later I was on the last page. It's such an interesting and well-paced story. Not being a native Japanese speaker, I thought all of the Japanese characters would be hard to keep track of, but author does a really great job of writing in a way where that's not a problem. The only thing that was weird was one of the last to die seemed to come out of nowhere. She just seemed to have survived somehow by magic until it was her chapter where she was then um made not alive. It most definitely seemed to be very random and sudden. Other than that, I love this book and will be rereading it again several times I'm sure. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #48,493 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #538 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction #788 in Dystopian Fiction (Books) #1,772 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,247 Reviews | ## Images ![Battle Royale: Remastered (Battle Royale (Novel)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EjFB2RZnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved the movie?
