Kind of like a cross between Survivor & 'Lord of the Flies', the story is about a future when the government sends a class of kids to an island to kill or be killed. Each gets a weapon & they battle until only one is left.

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. ( )

I honestly loved this book and couldn't read it fast enough. 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! ( )

The story was great... Very exciting. However, the translation was poor and it really took a lot away from the book. ( )

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. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 156931778X, Paperback)

Battle Royale, a high-octane thriller about senseless youth violence in a dystopian world, it is one of Japan's best-selling - and most controversial - novels. As part of a ruthless program by the totalitarian government, ninth-grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food, and various weapons. Forced to wear special collars that explode when they break a rule, they must fight each other for three days until only one "winner" remains. The elimination contest becomes the ultimate in must-see reality television. A Japanese pulp classic available in English for the first time, Battle Royale is a potent allegory of what it means to be young and survive in today's dog-eat-dog world. The first novel by small-town journalist Koushun Takami, it went on to become an even more notorious film by 70-year-old director Kinji Fukusaku.
