A review by manuphoto
Battle Royale: Remastered by Koushun Takami

4.0

3.5 rounded up to 4. A bit unequal but a seminal book in its genre. It was certainly copied a lot. It mostly works, even though there are some Deus Ex machina moments, but it is well paced and entertaining. The teenagers stories vary in term of originality and relevancy, but Tatami knows when to stop them, I was never bored. It's a hefty book but it reads fast. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.
