After reading Stephen King's review, I thought this book would be the best summer read since Jaws. Was anyone else slightly disappointed in the book? Yes it was engrossing - I read it in almost one sitting - but it's so dark and depressing - the synopsis has already been told - 6 visitors in Cancun go off to find a missing brother in the Mayan jungle. They end up in a really strange place where they have no control over what is happening to them.
However, I felt that Scott Smith should have had even a little bit of historical or factual information in the novel so that you knew who the Mayans were - this actually could have taken place anywhere in any jungle - not just Mexico.
I did like the book - I just didn't love it and I really wanted to.
