Title: Oh No! Killer Ivy!
Review: Jaws made you afraid to go into the water. Psycho made you afraid to take a shower. The Ruins will make you afraid to visit your local arboretum.SPOILER ALERT.To be fair, the writing is pretty intense, particularly in the begining, but once I found out that the weed was the killer, I wanted to know why. Unfortunately, there is no answer, it's just a killer weed. That's it.I realize that not knowing the backgroud of a villian can be even more scary. I thought Darth Vader and Leatherface were much more terrifying before all of the sequels and prequels ruined all of the mystery. On the other hand, we're talking about a killer plant here, It's not scary to begin with.Even though I don't think this book is that great, I still don't think it is as bad as everyone else seems to think. I kind of like the fact that the ending is such a downer. I would say that if your favorite movie of all time is "Open Water" then this book is right up your alley, otherwise, you'll probably want to pass.
