Spiral | 
pickA very readable departure from the story shown in the film series. The tale makes you want to go back and reread the first story, Ring, with all of the new context that comes from Spiral. A great expansion. I'm excited to read more from Koji Suzuki.
so-soTorn on my opinion of the sequel to Ring. It picks up right from when Ring ended but with a new protagonist. Like Ring the book takes us on a journey of horror and almost detective work as Ando explores what is causing the deaths. However at times it focusses too much on the science which makes the supernatural elements then seem ridiculous. Spiral takes a very different route to the films at the end and provides a dramatic twist conclusion.
Let's be honest...Sadako/Samara looks like she just crawled out of the swamp, right? I mean, she did crawl out of the well...
This is the second book in the series. I've read the first but don't own it, so I couldn't get a picture.
Samara is still really stinkin' scary to me, holy moly 😳.

so-soI think anything would struggle to match the original book, but I also really enjoyed the scientific turn this book took. It didn't have as much in the way of actual horror, but still was rather eerie. I look forward to seeing how book three stacks up to the previous two.
