Truly bizarre and maddening at times, but you can't stop reading. It all has the feeling of a dream, and even at the surprisingly moving end, you can't be certain how much has been real or not. The ability of "The Eye" to follow her for so many years defies literal belief.
A cult wants to sacrifice Ringo.

It's painless to watch, and interestingly bizarre. It's a lot like Monty Python, without the humor. The music isn't incorporated into the story at all - they just stop to sing a song every now and then.

GPA: 1.9/4
An odd little spin on the noir genre: private eye develops fixation on Black Widow killer and pretty much stalks her for years, never running out of money and failing to solve a ridiculously simple crossword clue (which was annoying).
Based on the novel by Marc Behm. The Eye is an intelligence agent whose current assignment is to track Joanna Eris, a woman suspected of blackmailing a senior government official. But the Eye soon learns that Eris is far more than a blackmailer. She is a seductive, shadowy master of disguise, a frenzied murderer whose rage is as fierce as her beauty.
