DESCRIPTION:
Whoa Koji Suzuki, Ring (Vertical, 1991)So you've seen The Ring. Or, better yet, the Japanese film Ringu. Or both. (You should watch both. See Ringu first.) Or you haven't. It doesn't matter. You must read Ring.The story is relatively similar, but both Nakata and Verbinski took very large liberties with the original text (for example, both made Asakawa's character female-- which allowed the world to get weak-kneed at seeing Nanako Matsushima and Naomi Watts gracing screens again, but was otherwise seemingly gratuitous), including some major messing with the backstory.

All in all, my particular opinion is that this is an excellent book telling a very smart and entertaining horror sto
But the misogynistic society that persecutes Sadako and her mother must ultimately bear witness to its sin-or perish. During his investigation, he discovers a videotape with a terrible warning: "Those who view these images are fated to die at this exact moment one week from now." With the aid of a friend, Asakawa traces the video to an alleged psychic and her daughter, Sadako. As in a classic ghost story, fate singles out one, often innocent character as a scapegoat. Despite a somewhat pedestrian and unintentionally comic prose style that seems derived from
The Inspiration for the New Major Motion Picture RINGSA mysterious videotape warns that the viewer will die in one week unless a certain, unspecified act is performed. His attempt to solve the tape's mystery before it's too late--for everyone--assumes an increasingly deadly urgency. Ring is a chillingly told horror story, a masterfully suspenseful mystery, and post-modern trip. Exactly one week after watching the tape, four teenagers die one after another of heart failure.
