Review: Not that I hadn't heard good things because I've heard nothing but praise - After being a big fan of the film for around 15 years I was extremely apprehensive about buying the book. Not that I hadn't heard good things because I've heard nothing but praise. I was worried after being such a big fan of the film that I wouldn't enjoy the differences between the film and the book. I was worried I wouldn't enjoy the story and especially the characters as much, or that in the end I would end up no longer enjoying the film so much. I had nothing to worry about. I was hooked from the first page and blew through the final 400 pages in two days. Beautifully written in an easy to read and uncomplicated and littered with dark humour that appears to break the forth wall on numerous occasions this book made me feel afraid, physically sick and utterly heartbroken. The character development and the insight into their lives in their final hours makes this book deeply tragic and truly heartbreaking and I found I connected with these characters on a deep level that I doubt will ever leave me. Takami weaves a fantastically tragic tale about loyalty, love, survival and murder that centers around the breakdown of relationships during times of war. Of course there is the social and political commentary but at it's heart Battle Royale is about friendships torn apart by violence. Yes, the violence is graphic but that only adds to the tragedy of the tale. This is an outstanding and riveting read that's as compelling and in its own way beautiful as it is tragic and vulgar.
Review: Battle Royale - 'Battle Royale' is an excellent Japanese novel that is both gripping and original. I won't describe the storyline as the desertcart page has a pretty good synopsis. I will say that from the first page you will be hooked and you will find yourself returning to this book at every free moment to see how the story develops. It is a simple premise, superbly executed (excuse the pun!) and you will become completely immersed in the mindsets of the various characters and how they behave. This book, like the film, is deemed controversial and yet I can't see any real reason why. It is a violent novel, but no more so than others out there, and it has a great many redeeming qualities compared to those other pulp fiction horror books. The translation is very good, so much so that you barely realise you are reading a translation at all, the ultimate goal I would have thought. This book is so easy to read that the 613 pages will fly by in no time at all. The ending, considering the subject matter, manages to leave you satisfied and with an adrenaline rush as well. One of the better modern fiction books i've read in a while and well worth a read. Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
