A great read and it's obvious why it inspired the films. It's a detective novel of sorts, which that oh-so-creepy supernatural element.

I liked it. It was a bit more thriller than horror. Learning about Sadako and the story of her life. It's an entertaining read, I don't think I watched the American adaptation (or Japanese either) movie based on this book, so I was surprised by the ending.
