Battle Royale
The Novel
Koushun Takami
Imagine being a junior high school student on a deserted island, forced to kill your classmates until only one remains. This high-octane thriller provides a potent allegory of the dog-eat-dog world of youth, described as a modern-day Lord of the Flies. Despite initial criticism, this novel became a runaway bestseller in Japan in 1999, and was even adapted into a movie.
