Within a context of remakes of Japanese horror rather than just bringing out subtitled or dubbed versions, I think it's understandable, even if it's misguided. There are even a few that deal with my original rejection of The Hunger Games as an anglo ripoff and being upset that it was more well-known than BR. There are both obvious lessons and ones that make you think, "Oh yeah!". The deepest proof for the artistic quality of the story is the fact that these essays represent a bunch of different (and also a few similar) interpretations of what we can gain from the story. I have enjoyed many a book since then, but few in number are the books who have affected me so much. The author did such a great job building up both the stakes and the relationships, that it was devastating to read. It was the first book that ever made me tear up with the lighthouse scene. It was a book that amazed me with its emotional resonance. It's been over a decade since I read Battle Royale.
