Battle Royale 28 February 2011 20:10 (permalink)
Has anybody else read this book?
 
Got hooked on Battle Royale after watching the film, currently around 300 pages into it, has a really gripping story line.
 
Definatly would recommend.

    Im a big fan of Battle Royale 1.
     
    I've only seen the film, not read the books, it was still nonetheless a very, very good film, with a strangely origional story line.

      I've been meaning to get the book for a while. I hear the translation to English isn't too good, though?

        The translation is actually pretty good. There are a few examples of "Engrish" in the book, but they are few and far between.

          I loved the films (1st is far superior to 2nd though obviously) and read the manga book series.
          I would read the book, but with so many characters with unpronounceable names... no way I could keep track of it all.

                Great book and a guaranteed 'page turner'. (Such a stupid saying)

                  The books amazing, the names didn't faze me at all, and I totally got into it straight away. Don't watch the second film though, it was pretty bad.

                      The book pisses all over the film.

                        Agreed, although I do really like the film. The book is just awesome

                          Read the book before watching the film. Found the film was completely rushed! The book was amazing though!
