Book 38: The Ruins by Scott Smith

This book was pretty awesome. I ripped through it quickly which says something since it seems to take forever for me to get through a book anymore. Four Americans go on vacation in Cancun and they end up in trouble when they go to an old ruins/mine in the jungle. It's pretty straight-forward horror, but the language and style that the author uses is pretty unique. I don't know how to describe it - simple, but descriptive maybe. The ending was also unexpected. I didn't really expect it to wrap up like that, but it was well done. There was a movie made in 2008 and 'll have to rent that eventually and see if it compares.
