Beskrivning
Koushun Takami’s notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: 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 one another until only one survivor is left standing.
Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan—where it then proceeded to become 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. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available in a new English-language translation.

★★★☆☆
Eu estou no meu horário de almoço no trabalho e nem tenho palavras ainda pra descrever minha INDIGNAÇÃO com esse final.
Eu preferia que o Shogo tivesse sido um traidor mesmo, preferia até que um aleatório ganhasse, mas não consigo aceitar que os dois inúteis continuaram vivos, apesar de óbvio pelo nivel de protagonismo que eles ganharam durante o livro.
Desci minha nota porque esse final me decepcionou muito, do jeito que esse livro é vendido eu esperava muito mais do que esse encerramento terrível
