Battle Royale has been deemed a cult classic, so we had to see what all the fuss was about. Will it meet our expectations or will it fall flat for our reading tastes?

Highlights:

🎙 We question what actually makes a book a cult classic.
🎙 Can there be too many characters in a book?
🎙 Reading multiple books in translation from the same translator.

Books we recommended at the end of the show.
