Narrated by Mark Dacascos.
With unemployment at an all-time high and violence amongst school children almost out of control, the Japanese government introduces the "Battle Royale Act." A randomly chosen school class is taken to a deserted island and forced to fight each other to the death. One pupil only is allowed to survive as proof of the lengths to which the government is prepared to go to end the violence.

Gore submitted by bookasaurusray on July 27, 2022, 10:41am There’s no way Suzanne Collins didn’t know about this book… she had to have used it as a template for the hunger games - that being said, I loved this. It is much darker than the Hunger Games. I flew through it and was a fan of the gore. A great, dark tale that takes on teenagers and Japanese society. Read it in 2 days.
