5/23/2023 0 Comments The Ruins by Scott Smith![]() The Ruins is eminently readable, and does include a few sequences that were genuinely squirm-inducing. Naturally, what they find puts them in mortal danger. The tale of a group of young Americans vacationing in Mexico, who follow a German they meet on a quest to find his brother, who has been lost somewhere in the jungle. The Ruins was a Good Read (Again? Puntastic! Okay, I'll stop now) but perhaps not the high point in horror literature I hoped it would be. ![]() I picked The Ruins primarily because I watched the film version a few years back and remember it being a notch or two better than most horror films, but that is both a blessing and a curse, really, because I think it.er.ruined (see what I did there? So proud!) what may have been a few of the book's more effective surprises for me. ![]() I owe my reading of this book to Goodreads - which I'm finally getting the hang of as an awesome way to get recommendations for new horror books to read :D ![]()
