This year my A to Z theme harks back to 2012's theme, in which I listed an A-to-Z of books from my GoodReads "TBR" shelf. This year I want to revisit that list and report on which ones I've read, and what rating I gave them. Where the book hasn't been read, I'll mention other books starting with that letter I have read since 2012. ;)
Status: Read
Brief Review: I had already seen the Hollywood movie when I started reading this book. The movie gave me the super heebie jeebies, in a good way - it was just the right kind of creepy! I haven't seen the Japanese film, but would love to someday. As for the book, it was an easily digestible read, and definitely "creepy". Suzuki's descriptions at times had me feeling almost what the characters were feeling (thankfully not quite what they were feeling, at least the ones who died!), and I certainly was affected by the creep factor in Sadako's demise. I just found the movie much scarier than any scene in the book. But it was still a great read. Suzuki's a bit of a genius for coming up with a plot like this. What an imagination! >> Full review
