A review by jomima
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

some characters could've been expanded on more, but others were quite memorable it's easy to find characters to root for!!

i wish shuya's personality was developed on - sometimes it got a bit frustrating whenever he refused to accept that his friends were killing each other.

but the ending is overall satisfactory, though bittersweet. :)
