Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller— Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Koushun Takami\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eScience fiction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 8 May 2014 by Viz Media, Subs. of Shogakukan Inc.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Koushun Takami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320614723962,"sku":"9781421565989","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781421565989.jpg?v=1790659204","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/battle-royale-remastered-9781421565989","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
