What a surprisingly thought provoking book.... Religious implications aside, I found there to be spiritual strands in this book that stirred me to think about my own life and how I live. A great read for those of us who like to ponder!

This book had a really good plot, however, the book didn't leave me feeling satisfied. I think I liked the idea of the book more than I actually liked the book. I guess I'll have to read the next two novels in the series first before I am able to judge these books fully.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Tấn Thanh Trúc

I've been hearing about Battle Royale for a long time. In fact, with the recent upswing in dystopian fiction, Battle Royale seemed to be popping up more and more on my radar screen. Even though the book was never very popular in the U.S., it was a huge hit in Japan, where it came out in the late 90s and spawned a manga series and two movies. Originally meant to be shocking and provocative, Battle Royale became a fascinating phenomenon in Japan where it became a modern-day Lord of the Flies tale. Armed with basic knowledge of the plot line of Battle Royale, I read The Hunger Games about a year ago, and, with the first movie in that series getting so much attention lately, I started wondering: just how much alike are The Hunger Games and Battle Royale? Answer: Very. Battle Royale takes places in a dystopian world where the government, ruled by a single dictator, teaches people that the only person worth trusting is the government. Every year, they select a class of junior high students to participate in the Program. The Program is simple: the students are dumped on an island and must kill one another. The last one standing wins. The government is even kind enough to arm the students with a variety of weapons (some a little odd) and place tracking collars around their necks that will explode if they go too long without moving, if no one dies in 24 hours, if someone tries to escape, or if someone goes into a forbidden zone. Told through the viewpoints of a number of the students, Battle Royale is an incredibly violent and disturbing novel that brings out the darker side of humanity -but in a way that's completely fascinating and, at times, unexpected. Some of these characters have serious issues, but it only makes them more real and more sympathetic. And as the conspiracies start to unravel, this action-packed novel comes crashing into an awesome, completely unexpected, but satisfying ending. Basically, I was completely shocked at just how much alike Battle Royale and The Hunger Games are. The plots/setups are nearly identical, many of the themes are similar, and the endings strangely echo one another. Now, I do have to warn you that Battle Royale is considerably more messed up, adult and graphic than Hunger Games, because it doesn't sugar coat things and tends to be most descriptive when it comes to the violence. But, bottom line, The Hunger Games is a near-exact copy of Battle Royale -think an American Battle Royale-lite. However, because the novel was translated from Japanese, there are a few points where the translation is a little awkward, or the cultural differences prevent American readers from understanding why certain things are the way they are. I was also surprised to see that much of the writing here was very blunt, simple and straightforward, but the style would randomly change to be more descriptive and flowery, almost like multiple people were translating it. Despite the somewhat odd translation, Battle Royale is an exciting, action-packed novel with a clear message and a central purpose. Yes, it is violent, but that's part of what gets the point across. I hate to say it, but The Hunger Games basically ripped off this book, took out everything that gave it teeth, and re-packaged it as an American-friendly teen book.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Asbooks biên soạn

I picked this book up on an impulse, not knowing what it was about, but the title interested me. It is written very uniquely, told from the view of a young girl who was never allowed to grow up. It's a story about Alice, not her real name, who is abducted when she was on a school field trip. Her abductor changes her name, and doesn't allow her to eat, wanting her to stay "his little girl" forever. Some of the details are very graphic and shocking, but unfortunately very true to what goes on in any long term abduction. She learns to live with her abductor, even doing errands for him outside of the house. But when Ray wants her to find another girl for him to "love", she realizes she may not have much time left. I thought this was a good book, because the author was able to go inside the mind of the abductee and sort've give us an insight to what they go through, and why they become attached to their abductor.
