The first book in this trilogy was enjoyable because it was unique in its creepy storyline and different enough from the movie adaptation to keep my interest. The second book started to read a bit like a science textbook at times, but was still creepy enough to hold me interest. This third book was entirely different from it's predecessors. A mix between a college textbook and the matrix, I lost interest about a third of the way in. I guess I'll stick to the movie adaptations after all with this one. Meh. Forse avrei dovuto leggere anche i primi due romanzi della trilogia, per apprezzare questo libro. Le premesse erano molto interessanti (il virus, il mondo virtuale/reale, un personaggio accattivante), però, il finale mi è sembrato molto affrettato e mi ha lasciata del tutto insoddisfatta, nonostante, appunto, il resto del libro mi sia piaciuto abbastanza. I didn't have as much tenacity as the others that have started and finished this book. Gave the book more than 100 pages to get better, got somehere half way "the Cancer Ward", but for me it just didn't get better. I liked the first part, where Kaoru is little, debating with his father, so I thought well of the book at first. Too bad I didn't find it interesting enough, didn't find the pace like I did with the first two books and it hasn't persuaded me enough to keep reading and get to know the twist & turn and tidying up of loose ends the others are talking about. Anyway I'm grateful that the whole trilogy was shared, I'm glad they came along :-) and made me read an author I hadn't read before. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Stunning Japanese novel with a chilling twist - the follow-up to Ring and Spiral. Kaoru's father, Hideyuki, lies dying in a Tokyo hospital, his body ravaged by viral cancer. This nightmarish incurable disease has sprung out of nowhere and has begun to affect organisms all over the planet. Twenty years ago Hideyki worked on a virtual reality project which replicated evolution on earth, called the Loop. The project failed when the organisms within it inexplicably stopped reproducing normally and started cloning. Nearly all of the other scientists who worked on the Loop are already dead - from cancer. To get to the heart of the mystery, Kaoru must travel to the other side of the planet, to the Mojave desert. The secret he encounters there will overturn everything he thought he knew about the world - and his own identity. In this suspense-filled follow-up to 'Ring' and 'Spiral', Suzuki masterfully confounds the reader with a stunning new twist on the Ring mythology. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I found this book to be far too drawn out, and not written in a flowing manner. It felt like reading a thesis rather than a novel. I didn't like any of the characters, I especially didn't like how the main character raped(?) Reiko (at least it was written as if he raped her). I rolled my eyes at the part where he was on the train and suddenly realised that all of the numbers were 2 to the nth power multiplied by 3, simply because "he's good at maths"..... No. I'm very good at maths but cannot, at a glance, tell that 393,216 = 2 to the power of 17 X 3. Maybe I'm just not as good as I thought I was?
I'm sure it's a brilliant book to some people but unfortunately I just couldn't stand it, I decided to send it back to the library when I realised that I had re-read the same paragraph over and over for about 15 minutes. I should have just given up when his faster wiped his semen all over the kitchen sink at the beginning. ( )
