Book Review of The Ruins

The Ruins
The Ruins
Author: Scott Smith
Genre: Horror
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed I think I would have rather eaten this book than read it... on + 24 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


Annoying characters combined with plodding and pointless narrative made this the worst book I've read in a long while. I felt like nothing happened in the first thirty-bajillion (roughly) pages of the book, and then Mr. Smith took just forty pages to wrap everything up. Very uneven.

After the first chapter, I wanted to throw this book into a wall... I should always follow my instincts.
