There was such a diverse group of students on the island, most of which were easy to relate to, and it was interesting to see how "The Program" led them to turn on each other once fear and the instinct to survive took over. Battle Royale was violent and unsettling but it also showed the value of friendship. I highly recommend this to anyone who can handle intense violence!

( ) joelshults | Jul 9, 2009 | Having watched the film, I was very enthusiastic to read the book, however with so many characters and such powerful acting from the former, I expected to be disappointed. On the contrary, I was more than surprised that instead, this was a book that was very difficult to put down. Each individual character was depicted brilliantly and there was as much action to be had in the book as the film - excellently written and thoroughly compelling. I strongly recommend this.

It was pretty well written, but didn't do a lot for me. The basic premise of game didn't seem particularly well set up to me nor very real. The reasoning behind the game, the politics, was unreal. The action was OK, fairly realistic in some ways, wrong in others. It came highly recommended by my son who was in his late teens at the time. (
