Oh lol. I still want to read it. I have too many books out from the library. My mother was not happy at me this morning cuz they were on her account and overdue so that was like over $20 and I feel awful.
Oh! That is hilarious! XD I don't think it's really based off of Battle Royale...I had a similar idea a long time ago before I had even read Battle Royale...so it's just a common plot, I guess.
Oh haha those are always awkward. Just saw the Hunger Games movie...they changed so much. It was alright but the end made me made because it was different.
My mom is reading it, too. I suggested Battle Royale to her...but now that I look at it...I think it's a bit too violent...and...sex scenes (just got to one of those...didn't know they'd go that far).
Ah! Pictures~! I love books with pictures! I remember the Dracula book I was reading had beautiful realistic pencil drawings in it...it's how I learned to draw realism...XD I feel indebted to illustrations in books because that is how I learned to draw.
The Count of Monte Cristo is by far my favourite book because it IS so long and lovely and for some reason I love Alexandre Dumas books...XD
Oh man you should read it! XD It's a smooth read, but the concept is actually really good ^^ And plus come on...gotta love pictures! XD Haha yeah, I really love the artwork in the book, I think that's one thing that drew me to it also ^^
Cool! The Count of Monte Cristo was good too :) A pretty long book, but I dunno, I liked the story X) And man, government stuff can be interesting at times, but most of the time it's like over-the-head sort of stuff XP
Haha! XD I know what you mean! I do that sometimes, too...but then again I usually don't read period...O.o;
I looked up that WondLa book...it looks VERY interesting. I like that she's alone at the beginning...most books I've seen with fantasy it's that they're leaving their parents or blah to get something blah, but it seems she doesn't even know what she's doing, she just wants to figure it out...XD
'cause I haven't read it...I just read the summary...XD Good summary. I like the art.
I might actually read that...(but again, considering I never read...>3>)
I read very famous books, but past the time that they are famous, so now they're not so famous. Like The Count of Monte Cristo and Battle Royale (which is hopefully gaining popularity...I want to talk to somebody about it besides my brother who just wants to tell me I'm wrong for no apparent reason). I don't read new books, but maybe in the future I will (mainly because I don't have the money, never looked into it, and the only books I see at the library that are new are stuff about how such and such gov. is annoying or our leader is annoying or people who think our leader is annoying is annoying...boring government stuff).
Wow, sorry for the long post (I've been writing by hand for a while so it feels so wonderful to type).
That's what I thought too, that The Hunger Games had similarities to Battle Royale. I won't say they're exactly the same either, because like you, I haven't read The Hunger Games, so I can't really say XP but I will say that there are definitely similarities.
Anyway, I tend to stray away from what everybody's reading XD Haha I think that's just a weird petpeeve of mine...
I'm stuck on the WondLa series right now :) I love WondLa!
Of course it would be. That's how it always is...plus I couldn't believe that they would actually make a movie about kids killing eachother rated PG-13. That's just sad.

I heard the book was way better than the movie. I read the book. It's pretty good. But of course, movies based off books are always different. I didn't know Battle Royale was a book...I'll have to read it.

I thought it was funny that a kid in my English class brought up how the hunger games was based off of battle royale.

I know right. They had to keep it so kids could watch still. All my friends hated it.
