Battle Royale: The Novel Audiobook

" OMG!! This is so, so, so much better than The Hunger Games! "

" I simply loved this book. It's truly a work of art. Kazuo is the best. "

" If you still don't think The Hunger Games was a rip-off of this, read the book. "

" Best book EVER, truly a masterpiece. As Stephen King said, "Insanely Entertaining" "

" Outstanding story. English translation is superbly written (i.e. very few if any translation oddities). "

" I just couldn't get into it. The author keeps hinting at an escape plot, and a fight-the-system sort of story line, which I like, but he's taking too long to get there. It's mostly just everybody talking about who they have a crush on, and then dying in various ways. "

" The Hunger Games before The Hunger Games existed... But gorier. UH. MAY. ZING. "

" Thrilling and gory. This novel will really appeal to today's generation as it is quite shocking. There are some pretty hardcore governmental underlying messages though. Overall, I loved it, read it in two days. "

" Awesome read, way better than "The hunger games" "

" Battle Royale is one of those classic novels that is distinctly Japanese and proud of it. Some may balk at all the talk of who has a crush on who, but it's all melded into a tight story that's heavy on action and also social commentary. A winner in every way. "

" One of my favorite all time reads. Kind of an updated Japanese version of Lord of the Flies. "
