    Mad respect for Suzuki
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2022*

Look I can't say I actually liked the direction the ring series went - but I really respect the author for bringing his vision to the page. This is out there. Really out there. But I dig it.To paraphrase hansel "Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that." I feel the same way here. I can't say I always understood what the hell was happening in this book or in the book that preceded it - but I respect it.

    Knocked for a Loop!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2005*

The image that comes to mind as I think back through reading the three volumes of Koji Suzuki's Ring trilogy is that of a camera quickly panning back to reveal a much wider scene in which the one that filled your screen a moment ago is revealed as a mere cameo. And now you see what it really meant in its unsuspected context! Breathtaking! You think you understand the mystery of each book by the end, having earned the relief of penetrating the labyrinth along with the characters--only to find that, no, you were wrong! You hadn't seen more than a fragment.I was sobered by the ending of The Ring (both American movie and Suzuki's novel). Then Spiral--! What an imagination! Chilling drafts of tomb air a la M.R. James, naturalistic characterization, fascinating science fiction, and what a conclusion! Nothing but Sadako! Where could he possibly go after this? Into the Loop! Another camera pull back! You mean THIS guy is...? And each book so different from the one before it!I gather the trilogy is the trilogy and that there will be no fourth volume. But what about the hints? That the original psychic-projection and propagation of the Video was too artificial a thing to have occurred in the Loop world without having been planted by someone in the outside world. That the "real" world is a virtual world created by someone less than God. Here's hoping he springs for a fourth.

    Artificial life is hard to care about
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2005*

The original Ring movies (Japanese and USA versions) are true original masterpices of horror, as is the orignal Ring novel they are based on. With Spiral, the series moves from its horror roots farther along the spectrum toward science fiction, and that trend culminates in Loop, which has no trace of the wonderful creepiness of Ring.With Loop we have splattered the windshield of pure science fiction. It isn't spoiling the main plot twist to say that the intellectual foundation of  Loop is an artificial life/world concept based on anything from Plato's cave allegory to Buddhism and post-modern literary theory. Also prefigured by William Gibson's 1984 classic, Neuromancer.But the farther the Ring series has drifted from mundane horror, the more sterile and featureless it has become. Even Spiral had enough evocation of the daily reality of the spooky Japanese scene to feel somewhat real and gritty, somewhat shocking. But Loop is entirely antiseptic. The main character is bland to point of complete unreality (though the author leaves himself an excuse for this flaw, that logical excuse doesn't help the reader's experience at all). You get no feel for the uniquely creepy Japanese horror atmosphere that is so striking in Ring and other recent stuff such as  Ju On.As for possible movie derivatives, I can only say that the movie version of Spiral had already lost most the the momenturm that the book Spiral carried over from Ring (in short, the movie Spiral is very slow and dull). That trend will definitely culminate with any possible movie of Loop (hopefully it won't be made). The characters are cardboard, the settings are bland and boring. The plot has little action. It does have some degree of intellectual interest, however that is too thin a reed to carry the entire plodding narrative. You will pick up a few interesting nuggets of science education.I don't understand why such a talented author has shyed away from his own greatest strengths. Rather than sticking to or deepening his power to invoke that purely and uniquely creepy Japanese horror atmosphere, he had to get all allegorical and philosophical on us, thereby draining his culminating work of any possible blood and guts. This from the author of such great works as Dark Water and the original Ring.I don't know if the success of Ring went to his head or if he'd planned out the entire series at the starting gate, before beginning. But I hope he'll return to his real strengths soon.
