It's all sorts of messed up. There must be significance to some parts of the book that I didn't grasp but it's likely cultural nuances. As a long time horror fan I'm happy to have finally read this cult classic.

Overall, good read!
Kept me on my toes and even though some portions seemed obvious I still enjoyed the twists and turns each chapter took.
I will be definitely picking up the next one in the series.

Fantastic! I really loved the movie The Ring, and never knew it was based off of this book. The book is even better than the movie!
