The Ruins

This book was entertaining and reminded me often of the better Stephen King books, but it left a lot of questions unanswered, which was a bit of a letdown.

The characters were mostly likeable and the storyline itself was interesting. I found myself most drawn to Jeff and Mathias as characters. Scott Smith's writing style is clean and flows very well, helping the book classify as what I would call a “page-turner.” I moved while I was reading this book; there are still boxes unpacked because I stopped to read instead.

All in all, I enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to others.
