Title: The Only 'Ruins" Was The Book Itself
Review: Six college kids on break in Cancun meet and go west into the jungles of the central Yucatan. That's the entire plot and it all happens within the first 20 pages. The remaining 335 pages is constant repetition by the author in an attempt to fill out the space between the front and back covers. You need 2 hands to count the number of times the writer tells how these kids do the same walk up and down a hill in Mexico. They enter a tent, they exit a tent, they enter, exit, enter,......well, you get the picture. Even the characters thoughts are retold so often you want to scream "enough is enough already". Toss in a seemingly alive plant and still you couldn't save this fiasco. The ending, although abrupt and final, is irrelevant. The entire read was a big joke.I'll stick with Stephen King and Dean Koontz thank you.
