Battle Royale by Koushun Takami
3.0
Battle Royale is a dystopian book that deals with human relationships, politics, and youth.
After reading the Hunger Games and being let down, I needed a stronger punch and Battle Royale provided just that. It was bloody, it was horrific, it was emotional, and humane above all.
It follows mainly three students, but it all the students get their take on the narration, without overcrowding the story, but by giving different spinoffs on the same story. And even though the start was overflowing with names, afterwards things got better and it was easier to keep up.
True, though, the story got boring in the third part when it came to the main characters, but the rest of them were enjoyable and their stories were heartbreaking.
