Just what I needed: a Crichton-esque adventure but more gory to pass a rainy weekend, a justification for me being a homebody, a reason I will never get near a rafflesia plant (just sayin... it freaks me out), characters I could relate to so that reading their thoughts was compelling, but not empath...
It'd been a while since I read a book that horrified, sickened, and amazed me in equal measure; The Ruins did all those things with ease. I was shocked at just how much I loved this novel. I did not expect it to totally blow me away. The characters are mostly unlikable and infuriating, and I must ad...
"The Ruins" is paced well enough to make for an entertaining and chilling weekend read, but its source of conflict is exhaustively hopeless and its cast is too unlikeable to stick with you for long. I stumbled upon "The Ruins" in search of nature-related horror. My favorite genre of horror involves ...

I just listened to this on unabridged audio. Having seen the movie a few years ago, I was expecting it to be a decent body horror tale of survival and I wasn’t disappointed on those two counts. But I’d be lying if I said I enjoyed the book more than the movie. The movie was suspenseful and to the po...
