Which plagiarized Dune and so on and so forth. [Battle Royale plagiarized the Lotterry, etc, etc] Vivien Send a noteboard - 12/03/2012 06:29:35 PM
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?

I actually really liked the third book Darth_Katie - 04/03/2012 07:05:28 PM 1372 Views
I took it as both a lot more than reality TV satire, and not really that at all. Cannoli - 04/03/2012 10:56:22 PM 1250 Views
Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:47:18 PM 1088 Views
Yes, a ruling class makes life & death decisions for you, and popularity influences them heavily Cannoli - 07/03/2012 10:25:40 PM 1287 Views
