yancycraft 's review for:
Battle Royale
by Koushun Takami
There are parts where the writing gets bogged down in description, as if already translating from a graphic presentation, which may be how the author saw it as he wrote. There was also excessive iteration of how a character was feeling despair or sadness or confusion, as though the reader audience just couldn't figure it out from the first paragraph or two of each instance. However, it's a definite Kill Bill and Hunger Games predecessor and does have some flair for making the whole battle work and in wrapping it up.
