Sinopsis

In a dystopian future Japan, forty-two junior high school students are outfitted with weapons and bid to kill one another until there is only one left standing.

Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller envisions a nightmare scenario: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when ?rst published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller—Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world with a new translation by Nathan Collins.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



First things first: it’s entertaining. The “Lord of The Flies”/“Hunger Games” style is super entertaining and has a lot of moving points and plots that keep you hooked. Warning, it is gorey, and there are some points where you’ll learn NEW ways to kill people that haven’t been all that common before. Regardless, it’s worth the read! As for downfalls, it is sexist (the women “can’t do anything” and are just “scared” for most of the book) and there’s some light homophobia at one point. It’s hard to look past and frustrating, to be honest. If you can find a way to overlook it, though, it’s worth the action! Claire42

Read this in three days. I'm hesitant to say I enjoyed it because it is a dark book but it was so gripping. As it's over 600 pages I wasn't sure if it was going to be fast paced enough to hook me but I was in a page 1.

This book is dark and tense but is also gripping, mysterious and at times moving. I really didn't know what the outcome was going to be and didn't expect the way it ended although I enjoyed it. Very well written, the descriptions of the landscape and the characters were just so engrossing.

Really wish the manga wasn't out of print as I'd to read that now too. Ozzy78
