Title: I'd give it six stars if I could
Review: The Ruins is my personal Book of the Year so far in 2006, and I think it will probably finish the year in the same position.I'm absolutely baffled by the 1-star reviews here and can only wonder just what it is these dimbulbs *want* from a horror novel. Maybe the well-drawn characters, the expert dialogue, the finely crafted sense of impending doom, and the tight plotting threw them off ... whatever the case may be, I would suggest that all the 1-star reviewers move on to something a little less challenging for their next read.I have only one complaint: I with The Ruins had been a longer book. That's how much I enjoyed being a part of an expert craftsman's imaginary world.Ignore the nay-sayers; let them return to their Dan Brown nonsense. Put the Ruins on your reading list right now.
