Title: Big disappointment
Review: I bought this based on Entertainment Weekly and Stephen King's rave reviews but was very disappointed. I thought it was creepy until the characters actually arrive at the ruins and the reader discovers the "horror" there. First off, the characters are underdeveloped so when terrible things begin to happen I really didn't care about any of them. Secondly, once they're stuck the strange things that happen become repetitive and instead of spooky you know the outcome quickly. A lot of gore, no sense of real horror...I rarely skim books but I wound up skimming the last 100 pages because I just wanted it to end. If you enjoy horror skip this one.
