Title: Disappointing ruins
Review: If I could give minus stars for this book I would. Disappointment doesn't begin to describe how I feel about The Ruins. A Simple Plan was simply wonderful and I expected something similar from Scott Smith's latest. So much could have been done with this plot! Why couldn't he have done it? I kept waiting for something to happen rather than how the vines felt, looked sounded, from the perspective of each of the characters. Then each of then had to express how they felt about the mosquitos, then each of them had to express how they felt about the mud, the heat, the cold, the Mayans, ad nauseum. Well, how I feel is let down by this poor excuse for a novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
