Konnichiha

April 20, 2009

While most of the people I know are perusing Steve Harvey’s book, I decided to travel a few hundred miles to enter the land of kimonos and yen.

Beginning with Japan’s ‘Stephen King’, I read The Ring. Koji Suzuki originally wrote about a male reporter who investigates the strange death of his wife’s niece and her friends after they view a mysterious video. Anyone who has seen Naomi Watts in the US version would be surprised at the ending to the book.

*SPOILER ALERT*
There are no creepy kids in the book.

Suzuki is also the author of Birthday, a follow up to The Ring. I was not too impressed. I tried to read Promenade of the Gods but was turned off by his amateur sleuths.

The Cage, by Kenzo Kitakata, was another white knuckle page turner. The story of a seemingly mild mannered supermarket manager forced to confront a past he THOUGHT he left behind was great. Worth an evening or two of time.
