| There are similar themes, and I do like Battle Royale better, but The Hunger Games is certainly good. The key difference from the outset is that the Battle Royale characters are all in the same class at school, so cliques, friendships, and animosities are there from the outset, and the political angle is much more subtle. Also we get POV chapters from most of the students in BR and flashbacks to show what they were like before, while HG is all first person but focuses much more on the world beyond the Arena. |
