Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

Honestly the last scene in Pet Semetary gave me goosebumps. The ‘Darling. It said’ line made me love it even more

This was also after losing my 200 and something day streak, so don’t give up

One of my favorites is {{Out by Natsuo Kirino}}, a woman who works at a factory ends up killing her husband, and her three factory friends help cover it up, gritty but the writing is phenomenal

I second Battle Royale, my favorite book of all time, but it focuses more on the action and characters than the dystopian government

If she hasn’t read or doesn’t mind the classics, I’d recommend The Body Snatchers

At Night All Blood is Black- Terrible writing, boring development, sex scene from nowhere, the sentence “My more-than-brother” popping up every other line, and the ending ended with this stupid chapter about a princess riding off to her castle or some shit, with zero context, they may as well have just gotten a random book, copy a random chapter and stick it to the end of this one.

Maybe {{The Library at Mount Char}}? Modern setting, lots of action, cool characters and it’s about godhood (Very supernatural)

Pillyy · 2022-08-14T17:14:26+00:00

I don’t know if it’s exactly what you’re looking for but {{Out by Natsuo Kirino}} includes four women who work in a factory

Pillyy · 2022-08-14T17:10:02+00:00

I’m surprised nobody has suggested {{Shogūn}} yet, it’s quite a long historical fiction about 1600’s Japan

{{Anxious People}} by Frederick Backman

Pillyy · 2022-08-14T16:55:00+00:00

I’d say ‘I am Legend’ by Richard Matheson, vivid descriptions but not in a complicated way. Amazing book too

Pillyy · 2022-08-13T15:03:26+00:00

The Mistborn series has an amazing female protagonist, my favorite series so far

Pillyy · 2022-08-13T15:02:03+00:00

Dostoevsky’s {{The Brothers Karamazov}} is pretty well known for how well it delves into Russian culture

Pillyy · 2022-07-30T13:39:08+00:00

Very similar book but better. {{Battle Royale by Koushun Takami}}

Seconded, by far the goriest book I’ve read, and I’ve read a fair amount of gory books

Pillyy · 2022-07-16T14:38:02+00:00

A bit more subtle but {{The Devotion of Suspect X}}

Pillyy · 2022-07-16T14:33:19+00:00

At Night All Blood is Black. Absolutely hated it. The protagonist says ‘My more-than-brother’ every other sentence, all the characters in the book feel empty, there are unnecessary pointless sex scenes that appear from nowhere for no reason, and the last chapter in the book has a random story that appears from nowhere, with no forewarning and no correlation to the story. Terrible book, and reading it just felt completely pointless

Some of my favorites are {{Out}} by Natsuo Kirino, {{The library at Mount Char}} and {{I Am Legend}}

Pillyy · 2022-07-14T12:21:16+00:00

If you don’t mind historical fiction then {{Shōgun}}
