Then who’s the villain?. Really fun read. Horror wise, it’s scary to read what a plant that eats anything anything organic can do. It made me think of how cucumber vines wrap themselves tight around anything around them. I definitely won’t view my vine plants the same anymore! Thankfully, none of them sprout red flowers. I liked how the story progresses through the four main characters’s perspectives. It allowed me to see every character’s reasoning for how they acted in this fight or flight scenario. So when the characters are discussing who would play the villain in their movie, I realized that none of them are the villains. There is no villain. They all did what they hoped and thought would be the best for their survival. Not even the plant is the villain. It is a plant that acts out of its nature, out of survival. And that’s exactly how the characters act. They act out of survival. No one did anything out of vindication or evilness. I personally liked the ending too. Hope was a factor for the survival of a few of them, and in the end, hope is lost. I read this because I liked the film. The book and the movie are not the same, and I’m glad they weren’t. Out of the book, we get more information and story from the characters. From the movie, we get the visuals. Maybe some things are lost in the movie, like character background, but it was still a fun watch. Just as this book was a great and horrifying read.

Great Book!. I read this in 8th grade and I loved it (though it was a little inappropriate because of the language and other content). And it's not completely like the movie. If you love a good horror/thriller, I highly recommend this.

Great thrilling read. Better than the movie which was good. Once the book was over I still wanted more

The author is great. I liked the way the author wrote the book. I just don’t like how it ended. But it’s a good book nonetheless.

Great read. Filled with the same sense of urgency the characters felt. Great writing. Finished in a day

Well written but ultimately disappointing. I haven't seen this movie (or even heard of it) but there's no question in my mind that this book is well written. It's a phenomenal page turner. You find yourself identifying with and rooting for the characters every step of the way. And, like the characters, you know what the outcome will be but hope all the way until the end that it will be different.

Great. I thought this book was awesome, a real page turner, movie was a little disappointing, but the book def deserves 5 stars!

:O. Who ever made the movie needs to be shot. The book is way better and makes you want more with every page. The drama was cut right out of the movie. The book had everything you could look for in a horror story and some. Suspense, drama, ect.. The book is worth every penny. Don't waist your money on the movie.

Fun read. Enjoyed reading this.

Disappointing. After A Simple Plan, I thought this book would be so much better but it was disappointing. His first book was an intriguing caper but The Ruins was a bit of a mess- maybe better as a movie than a book but not sure if a movie was ever made. 2 stars!...EAF

Great.. This book is way better then than movie.

Extremely Good, But .... ... far, far too much bla-bla in the form of inner dialogue. Certainly, 50 - 100 pp. could be cut to give the narrative the tautness of the plot. Not worth waiting nearly two decades from his debut novel (said with sincere regret).

Garbage. How this title ended up on a top horror list is beyond me. Forced myself to finish it and it took forever. Save your money and time.

Not what I was hoping for. The premise is a cool one, but I felt it ran on a bit too much, unnecessarily. I was hoping for more horror and chills, but I think this book maybe just isn’t my personal style.
