What happens?
A group of schoolboys get stranded on an island. While waiting to be rescued they turn savage and start to kill each other.
Reason for bleaklisting?
Not enough deaths and killing Miss Piggy was just cowardly. I mean, what would Kermit say?
What should have happened?
Some schoolboys get stranded on an island after being abducted by the military and are told they have to kill each other. The government thinks of children as fleas and parasites and wants them to murder each other using only bananas and and bread sticks. A brutal battle ensues with Wiggy, known as the Running Man, emerging as the victor. The boys call the contest the Hunger Games because the military leave them there for a week without food, save the bananas and bread sticks that are supposed to be weapons but which they eat instead. Thanks to a storm and the bizarre downpour of copies of the Daily Mail and Justin Bieber CDs only Wiggy survives the onslaught.
Special instruction
Must insist this goes on all school curriculum and be renamed, Bored of the Fleas.
Mr B compares the stories
Remarkably, Charlie has not only demeaned and made a mockery of William Golding’s classic novel but he appears to have ventured head first into the pool of plagiarism, stealing from Battle Royale, The Hunger Games and The Running Man. My sincere apologies to Koushun Takami, Suzanne Collins and Stephen King for this insult. Suffice to say, Golding’s novel is more than worth your time but Charlie’s effort should be steered down the river of obsolescence at the next available opportunity.
