I don't buy the "I came up with the same idea independently" any more than when Goodkind says it about his shitty series plagiarizing an equally shitty Wheel of Time.
If we were really sticklers for perfectly original books, it wouldn't be easy. Yeah I agree that she shouldn't keep insisting that she's never heard of Battle Royale before people started accusing her of plagiarizing. It's not a big deal to me personally. I don't dislike Goodkind because he plagiarized other bad authors, I dislike him on his own merits.
But you say that Battle Royale is a better book and movie, have you read both books so that you can get away with saying that?
The Hunger Games

I took it as both a lot more than reality TV satire, and not really that at all.

Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform.

Yes, a ruling class makes life & death decisions for you, and popularity influences them heavily

It's anything like twilight only in the sense that it has a lot of fans.

They're worth reading. (Everyone, do just try reading the first book) Ideally, before movie.

Even before reading on wikipedia, I thought, "this is a rip-off of Battle Royale."
