Espe...I definitely think you should give it a read! Especially if you're one of those fans who wants to be well educated on the whole ripoffery angle. I know that's why I read it. I hope you enjoy it too. :DJulia @ That Hapa Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961460353502898001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997174738664182569.post-89725019559957739402012-05-29T14:52:23.220-07:002012-05-29T14:52:23.220-07:00It was the same sort of reason as The Hunger Games...It was the same sort of reason as The Hunger Games. A way in which the government could sort of oppress and scare the populace. I don't really know if it was meant to be a dystopian world since I'm not familiar with Japan and its current government but I THINK it was.Julia @ That Hapa Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961460353502898001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997174738664182569.post-67548055214323938192012-05-29T12:02:34.152-07:002012-05-29T12:02:34.152-07:00Yeah...I'll give this one a past my violence t...Yeah...I'll give this one a past my violence tolerance isn't all the high ^.^. Take me a to an R rated movie with lots of violence and you can bet my eyes will be closed at least half the time *.*. Thanks for your review though I was curious how similar Battle Royale and The Hunger Games was and now I know. I still have a question though, what was the reason behind taking the children to the island to kill each other? An experiment or was it also a dystopian world?Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842315793902005771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997174738664182569.post-63385290245164982512012-05-29T10:29:28.007-07:002012-05-29T10:29:28.007-07:00Yeah, like you, being a massive fan of the hunger ...Yeah, like you, being a massive fan of the hunger games I have been really wanting to read this ever since I heard it was similar to THG. And the accusations that Suzanne Collins had pretty much just copied Battle Royale made me even more eager to read it so that I could judge the 'ripoffery' (as you say, lol) for myself.<br />It is a bit worrying how violent it sounds, but I still really want to read it! I hope when I get my hands on a copy I'll love it as much as you did! :)<br /><br />Catherine<br /><a href="http://www.thebookparade.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Book Parade</a>Catherine@thebookparadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045524406179794640noreply@blogger.com
