Title: A Total Waste of a Read
Review: Are you kidding me? It's as if Scott Smith never read a horror book in his life and thought he was creating a genre. I've read "Goosebumps" that were more entertaining. The book is about survival, or rather dying, all of which is done in a cliched and repetitive way. There is no suspense, you know what is going to happen from page 50. It is the lamest "evil" since the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors."Stephen King's review influenced me to buy it and I feel betrayed by an author I used to truly enjoy. However, after aliens came out of people's bums in "Dreamcatcher" it shouldn't surprise me that "The Ruins" is a book King would recommend.
Is the review positive or negative?
