Title: I was SO disappointed!
Review: "A Simple Plan" was one of the most entertaining reads of my life, then Scott Smith went for YEARS without writing a second book. As soon as I heard about "The Ruins," I dropped everything else to read it. I only finished reading it because I had waited so long, and because I kept thinking something good (or at least entertaining) had to come out of it. But I have to say, I can only recommend that you NEVER read this horribly depressing story devoid of entertainment value. I think Scott Smith must have waited too long, was probably under a lot of pressure to repeat his wildly successful first novel, and just couldn't come up with another good story.
