S: Es by Kōji Suzuki

I haven't read the first four books in the Ring series, but am familiar with the general plotline through the film versions, and appreciated this book's continuation with some of the original characters and premise.
However, I found the translation itself a bit difficult to get through; the prose was quite clumsy and required some serious attention to be waded through. Also, the reveal near the conclusion was given in a manner that was bafflingly blunt and coarse.
S was creepy, and downright weird, but I felt a bit confused and impatient getting through it, more than terrified.
