Ring

Wow! I was surprised to find out that this book was so drastically different from the movie. It was more of a mystery than a flat-out horror novel, and I am fine with that. 

The book follows the same central structure as the film, but I feel like most of the characters were drab and not all that relatable. Once the detective work started, however, it became much more enjoyable and the tension started to build. 

 Overall, it didn't really get to me or frighten me in anyway. It's not overly gory or even graphic. The story is quite sad and tragic, but there was just not enough meat on the bone to do much for me.
