Negative Positive
Title: Well, this book certainly sucked
Review: First, this book was recommended to me via e-mail from Borders Book Store. Amazon had a better price and had it in stock.However, when I saw Steven King giving it a thumbs up on review pages I should have dropped all ideas of buying but I was intrigued by the title...THE RUINS. I'm a big fan of Indiana Jones type stories and I thought this book was headed that way into the dark labrinyth of secret passages and bad South American priests.Well, there are no ruins. The only ruin was the book itself: a waste of trees. The story line is like thin soup and there is no depth to the characters. It reads like a "what I did on my summer vacation" written by a bored summer school student and I found myself flipping through pages hoping to find something exciting in the story.So five young tourists die on a hill side eaten by a plant. Wow. What a story line. Thats all folks. Don't waste your money on this book.
