So I just finished reading Battle Royale and thought it was great. I'm not gonna lie I hated The Lord of the Flies and actually did not finish the book. The problem was I came close to finishing the book and realized that I really did not give a crap about the characters. Battle Royale is almost the same idea except it is amped up to 11. Imagine if Piggy was given a machine gun to even up the odds, and the kids had explosives around their necks that would blow up if they didn't follow the rules. The whole idea is freaking insane. It is definitely a quick read that will keep your attention throughout the book. I'm not going to lie though it is a little graphic, and by a little I mean it has a scene with a teenage girl shoving a sickle through a fellow classmate's throat. This book is that hardcore. If you don't mind graphic violence and extreme situations involving teenagers then you should check this book out. It is very well written and is a cool story. 10 times better than Lord of the Flies.
Buy it here. You won't be sorry.
