Book Reviews of Loop: ('THE RING' series, book 3)
Book Review: This is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but a yawn.
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the first "Ring" book upon it's American release back in 2003. I loved it so much that I ordered its sequel, "Spiral", upon its American release in 2004. As other reviewers have pointed out, whereas "Ring" is pretty much a straight horror novel, in "Spiral", the story takes a turn towards science-fiction. I'm more of a horror fan than a sci-fi fan, so I didn't like "Spiral" as much a "Ring". Because of this, I only just got around to reading "Loop", several years after its American release. "Loop" continues the "Ring" story along the sci-fi path that it turned down in "Spiral". If you liked "Spiral", then you will probably like this book. However, if you didn't,... well, perhaps you would be better off buying something else. "Loop" is very much a sci-fi novel with long passages of exposition explaining various scientific facts and theories, such as cloning and viruses. If this sounds interesting, then you might enjoy it, but if not, you will probably be bored out of your skull by the time you finish. That's what happened to me. Don't say you haven't been warned.
Summary of Loop: ('THE RING' series, book 3)
Learn the final truth about the Ring!In this much-awaited conclusion of the Ring trilogy, everything you thought you knew about the story will have to be put side. In Loop, the killer mimics both AIDS and cancer in a deadly new guise. Kaoru Futami, a youth mature beyond his years, must hope to find answers in the deserts of New Mexico and the Loop project, a virtual matrix created by scientists. The fate of more than just his loved ones depends on Kaoru's success.
Loop is written as a stand-alone work though it is best enjoyed by fans of Ring and Spiral. The author's own favorite of the trilogy, this astounding finale is an emotionally resonant tale that scales conceptual heights from an angle all its own. Fiction about fiction has rarely been so gripping.
