The Ruins by Scott Smith


finished 04.15.08

Bought this book in the New Orleans airport thinking about how I used to read Koontz and King a lot and it’s been a while. It’s a fast read. More gory than scary, I thought.. although the website for the movie makes it seem like it’s going to be scary.

  1. He wrote one of my faves “A Simple Plan”. I enjoyed The Ruins, I thought it was pretty scary. The movie looks pretty scary too!

  2. I read The Ruins last summer and I thought it was a great book, very scary and creepy. There were a couple of points where I had to put the book down because it was too graphic, even though I was on a full Blue Line train it was too much. But I got through it and thought it was great. From what I’ve read about the movie, it won’t be so great, and they are changing the ending and certain events in the book happen to other characters. I’ll have to wait and watch it on cable.
