3.0

There's a potentially interesting idea at the core of the book, however about two-thirds of the way through we once again end up rehashing the plot of Ring. And I get it, we want to make sure new readers are caught up and forgetful readers have their memories refreshed. But just reading a character reciting the entire story for himself feels a little dry. 

And then the resolution of the book is pretty much once again just a multi-page monologue from one character just explaining everything that was happening.

So... interesting plot with the serial killer, but ultimately quite poorly executed for me.
