Negative Positive
Title: THE RUINS
Review: I loved A Simple Plan.The Ruins is a big letdown.Smith is a skilled craftsman, but the plot is the problem. The book lacks theme,subtext and a satifactory ending. Some of the scenes are the most ditubing I have ever read. I hope Smith's next book will resonate with some of the underlying qualities which made A Simple Plan so good.
