Commentary Supposing Books The Ruins

Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine. Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation–sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site . . . and the terrifying presence that lurks there.

Evaluate Epithetical Books The Ruins

Hold my hand...cover my eyes..don't leave me...support buddy-read- Some books are tooooooo scaaaaaary to read alone.

Ive always had this conception that the horror genre, be it books or movies, are meant to be scary. So thats how Ive judged various entries in the field. Did this [book or movie] scare me? Mostly, the answer is no. Real life itself is so terrifying that fictional fears really dont do anything for me. After all, no monster springing from an authors imagination is quite so terrifying as my student debt load. While reading Scott Smiths The Ruins, it occurred to me that my concept of horror is

Scott Smith's The Ruins is one of the best horror novels I've read in some time. It would be really easy for me to rip into it. The premise is, frankly, ridiculous, and its plot is nothing but doom and gloom. So why did I love it so much? Simply because it was completely convincing, engrossing, and terrifying. I don't think I have ever found myself squirming as much while reading as I was for this book's last 20 pages or so.I think The Ruins works as well as it does because of Smith's writing

When four American college students and a German tourist go on a foray into the Mexican jungle, searching for the German's missing brother, they have no idea of the horror they will find themselves entangled in. Will any of them leave the jungle alive?I was in the mood for some horror and received recommendations for this book from two highly regarded reviewers. I'm proud to say Kemper and Trudi weren't wrong.The Ruins is the story of five people who make a series of questionable choices and

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 admit I had trouble reading about them at first, but that's the point being trapped in the jungle and fighting for one's life brings out the very worst in a person.This is a brutal, agonizing read.

loved it! I remember the movie but not well, so I went into the book almost fresh. Gruesome and well-written read. the characters were all kind of annoying, but I also think they were realistic. And as someone who went on a Mayan archaeological dig as part of her curriculum in college I had an extra connection to the plot, lol.

This is horror at its finest. It's hard to believe all the negative reviews this book gets. I have 7 to 10 books that I always keep extra copies of, so when I meet a horror fan who hasn't read one of my favorites, all I have to do is grab an extra from my bookshelves and say, here, give this one a shot. I've given away 2 copies of this book in the 10 years that it's been out, and so far everyone has loved it. Even my husband liked it, and he only reads thrillers. I have no review for this book,
