The Ruins

Since The Ruins has been much praised by the king of horror, Stephen King and included in Entertainment Weekly's list of best books in 2007, I didn't hesitate to buy this book immediately.

Alas! Another worst book I've ever read. I really have no idea why the critics find this the best horror book. This was the book that I skipped some pages to finally reach the end to find out what happened and to stop the excruciating boredom I already suffered.

Lesson: Not to immediately jump on the bandwagon of some critics positive pronouncements. Very traumatic experience.... Waste of money!!
