BATTLE ROYALE book review part II
OK - I read it. It's a great book - the closest thing to Brave New World and 1984 that I'll ever get since I hate those books. Anywho - this is just because I promised to make the review today that I am doing it ~ I am not going to make it as nice or spoiler-section-proof ~ so bare with me. I am going by memory also because I am too lazy to go and get my book. Sorry.

Oh - and there is no video Onee-chan in the novel.

Battle Royal novel report #1
I am about half way through the book and I just wanted to make a public entry so that my non-LJ user friends as well as my LJ friends could use this as a reference for the differences between the Battle Royale novel and the Battle Royale movie. And boy - are there some differences! Generally - it is all going the same direction. The characterization was brillantly done in the movie, I can tell you that. Except Shuya is more of a pussy in the movie.
Otherwise - they're all pretty much accurate.

Don't worry - all spoilers have been cut! And if you don't want to read about a certain character/plot point but another ~ you can as I am deliberately catagorizing it.

So - there you have it. I don't know if I'll finish the rest and pull an all-nighter or what. Rest assured, some time tomorrow I will have the full update.

Journal Theme: Mind Over Matter
We're doing what can't be done,
Mind over matter,
There's a battle that can't be won,
Mind over matter

Fight, and never say die,
We've got a right to satisfy,
With hope to be so brave
When there's a will that's gotta be alright

Sometimes it feels like we're losing altitude,
But I bear a winner's attitude

We're doing what can't be done,
Mind over matter,
There's a battle that can't be won,
Mind over matter
