So Spiral is the second book on the Ring series, and right off the bat I can tell you that I think this is even better than the first book. In Spiral you get a plot full of twists and turns, which is great because I was genuinely kept guessing. But what really carried the plot was how well Ando, the main protagonist was written. The trials and tribulations that he encountered projected so strongly I felt like I was actually living them. Brilliant read, and I'm going to start on the 3rdSequel to "Ring" and #2 in the series. There is a lot of science, code-breaking and technical stuff here which I suspect might not appeal to fans looking for pure horror. The story arc takes a major turn from the first book. Personally, I enjoyed the first one a bit more but I really marvel at the mind of the writer who can cook up this kind of storyline. [Rating: 3.5*]
The most shocking part of this alleged shocker was the observation that "Miyashita's intuition was sharper than one would have guessed from his rotund physique." It could always be a shoddy translation, but it's exceedingly hard to tell whether the repeated bigotry (towards women especially) is that of the repulsive characters or the author himself. While the characters of Ring were perhaps equally dislikable, the brilliant pacing and tension surrounding the investigation overshadowed the

It's a good thing this book was written in such a fluid, easily-read style, because I don't know that I'd have stayed with it otherwise. As it was, several portions got bogged down in a textbook-type science language that I tended to skip over (and the narrative lost nothing for it).This story incorporates more horror elements than did the first book (Ring), and so is closer in nature to a horror novel for it. However, the heavy use of science (both real and imagined) places the story
I didn't know what to expect from this one, after reading RING. One thing I DID NOT expect was what happened to Asakawa and his family. While Ando was reading the RING report, I did wonder if he was going to contract the virus that way. But there was a lot else I couldn't have foreseen, including the way that Sadako comes back into the world. As soon as we found out that Mai had given birth, and we saw that other mysterious woman emerging from Mai's apartment, I basically figured that Mai had
Suzuki's plots are batshit crazy and I love it. I read Ring a long time ago and was dumbfounded by how much I enjoyed Suzuki's pace and writing. Surprisingly, the eeriness of Nakata's Ring movie captured the spookiness of the novel perfectly, and so, having watched the movie prior to reading, it was a satisfying experience as a fan of the franchise both on screen and on paper. Spiral is the direct second installment of the Ring series and in it, Suzuki turns up the "weird" full throttle. I
Ah, so here's Koji Suzuki's official sequel to Ring. Not the crappy Hollywood sequel, nor the crappy Japanese film sequel, but the official continuation from the author of the original novel. All right! This is going to be awe--wait, it's a medical thriller?The curse is a result of the smallpox virus hijacking Sadako's DNA and using her psychic powers to imprint images on a videotape which in turn causes the viewer's DNA to mutate and produce more of the -- There are a number of scenes in this
