Wraps show a bit of edge and cover wear, light reading creases along spine edges; binding sound.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly toned pages.  ‘The fabulously creepy story of The Ring takes a side step from the plot of the original Japanese film, taking the reader into the life after all of that tragedy and mystery.  And guess what?  Sadako, the psychic killer from the bottom of the well, isn’t so easily disposed of. … Ring 2 takes the reader into the life of Mai Takano, after her beloved Professor Ryuji is killed by Sadako.  Adding to the sci-fi element, both Mai and little Yoichi, son of Ryuji and Reiko, have developed psychic powers of their own and are often haunted by the powerful Sadako.’ (from rear wrap)
