Title: Cool Horror story, but not for those who can't handle a little blood!
Review: "The Ruins" is a pure horror story alla Steven King (I am not surprised to see him plugging this book). The book does take awhile to get rolling, but once it does it is hard to put down! I think some of the negative reviews are from people not expecting a gory horror story. THIS IS NOT THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL! But it is a great bit literary horror fiction. Smith can write (I am now looking for his earlier book "A Simple Plan") He knows how do develop characters and draw out suspense. If you cannot handle gore than do not buy this book! But if you like horror and are looking for a great beach read you can't go wrong with "The Ruins!"
Is the review positive or negative?
