The really messed up thing is how different the book is from either film. The book is more of a post-modern sci-fi book than a horror story.
SPOILER
The book reveals that the video curse is actually a mutated version of smallpox, and that Sadako (the Japanese Samara) is revealed in the book as a hermaphrodite. I was not interested in either plot twist and prefer both films as straight-up ghost stories.
